When Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese take the court together as teammates at the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday, the 2024 No. 1 overall pick believes her Sky rival will do something better than anyone else on the court.
During a red-carpet interview to kick off the festivities in Arizona, Clark predicted Reese will lead the All-Star Game in rebounds.
Reese’s 11.9 rebounds per game are the best in the WNBA this season, and Clark clearly expects her to show out on Saturday night when the WNBA All-Star team faces the U.S. women’s national team at Footprint Center in Phoenix.
“She’s certainly probably going to lead the game in rebounds. I expect that out of her that’s just what she does,” Clark said Thursday night.
Though Clark and Reese have tried not to give it too much attention in the media, it has captured the imagination of basketball fans, as the Clark vs. Reese debate has raged on since the the 2023 NCAA title game.
The two have been notable rivals since their days in college when LSU topped Iowa in that tournament before the Hawkeyes got revenge on the Tigers in the elite eight this year.

Clark expressed excitement over the idea of getting to play with her during All-Star weekend.
“I’m pretty excited,” she said. “I think it’s cool. It’s obviously rare to have two rookies in the All-Star Game, so I just think enjoy that. Obviously the fans are super excited about it. I just think it’s really good fo the W, and obviously she’s having an incredible year, so it’s going to be really fun.”
Reese has starred for Chicago since she was taken seventh overall in the April draft, averaging 13.5 points per game.
Clark has lived up to the hype after being taken No. 1 overall and is coming off a game in which she set a WNBA single-game assists record with 19 on Wednesday night.
