    The Sky hilariously asked the Fever for a truce after Caitlin Clark dished an assist to Angel Reese

    The budding rivalry between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever has been well-documented this season.

    Much of it stems from the already established rivalry that rookie phenoms Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese had in college, with Reese’s LSU beating Clark’s Iowa in the 2023 national title game, and then Clark and the Hawkeyes getting revenge in the 2024 Elite Eight.

    Now, the duo are playing for two of the WNBA’s midwestern franchises, neck-and-neck in a Rookie of the Year race, and drawing comparisons to Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. There were also memes from Reese’s battles with Sky forward NaLyssa Smith, Clark mean-mugging the Sky bench, Reese’s flagrant foul on Clark, and Chennedy Carter’s cheap shot. A game between the Sky and Fever in June shattered a 23-year-old WNBA viewership record.

    But after Clark dished out an assist to Reese on Saturday night in the WNBA All-Star Game, the Sky thought it was time to let bygones be bygones.

    We’ll see if this truce holds up for when the Sky host the Fever on Aug. 30 — the final regular-season meeting between the two teams.
