Anyone who thought the vicious rivalry between former Iowa Hawkeyes' star Caitlin Clark and former LSU Tiger and women's college basketball national champion Angel Reese would ease up once they reached the WNBA has been sorely mistaken.
The pair's feud has only escalated at the professional level, and with both athletes set to play alongside one another on the WNBA All-Star Team this weekend, we could see a new phase in their rivalry. Of course, even if Clark and Reese were to start mending their beef as part of the same All-Star team, the two would likely be at each other's throats soon after with how tight the race for the WNBA Rookie of the Year Award has been. Clark was the heavy favorite early on, but as Reese has proven herself a double-double machine, Clark no longer leads her team in points per game.
Reese has overtaken the Rookie of the Year race in some people's eyes. Although not everyone agrees on who deserves the award, everyone knows that the race is far from over. Here are the odds as of July 15. All odds via BetMGM .
Other notable statistics: Clark is top-15 in the league in scoring, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks
Angel Reese:
Team Record: 9-14
PPG: 13.5
APG: 1.8
RPG: 12.0
STL: 1.5
BLK: 0.4
Other notable statistics: Set the WNBA record for longest double-double streak at 15 consecutive games. Her streak recently came to an end during a game against the New York Liberty
