Fans who wanted more beef in the Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese feud certainly weren’t disappointed on Saturday.

The well-documented feud between the two stars dates back to the 2023 NCAA women’s basketball championship game, when Angel Reese taunted Caitlin Clark after leading the LSU Tigers to a 102-85 victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes.

The WNBA did its fans a huge favor by scheduling Clark’s Indiana Fever against Reese’s Chicago Sky in the season opener. And during the third quarter of Saturday’s contest, tempers flared when Clark committed a flagrant foul against Reese:

After leading the Fever to a 93-58 blowout victory, Caitlin Clark threw some shade at Angel Reese by explaining that it was simply a smart foul to commit.

“It’s just a good take foul, you know? Either Angel gets wide open two points, or we send them to the free throw line. Nothing malicious about it. It’s just a good take foul. Every basketball player knows that.”

Reese made headlines last year when she told reporters that people aren’t following women’s basketball simply because of one person (Clark), but also because of her. When a reporter asked Reese about the comments earlier this week, she declined to respond.
