The Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese and the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark are all set to show their game at the upcoming WNBA All-Star. Reese is the only player from Sky to be selected for this year’s WNBA All-Star. After this, Clark and Napheesa Collier were voted to become captains of their respective teams for the WNBA All-Star.
So, with both captains decided, they also had another huge task on their hands. It was to make a suitable team. Clark, with her first pick, drafted her Fevers teammate Aliyah Boston. Then, she drafted Sabrina Ionescu. But the ball dropped when Clark didn’t select Reese for her team.

Caitlin Clark Passed On Angel Reese As Her Teammate
Many consider Angel Reese to be the Fever guard’s rival. However, that might have led to Clark opting not to choose her. In college, they were first pitted against one another. There, Reese defeated Clark and Iowa to win the national championship in 2023. Later, the LSU standout reportedly made fun of Clark.
Since then, it has taken off in the WNBA. Reese and Caitlin Clark will face off against one another once more in the WNBA All-Star game. Some fans expressed their opinions on social media on Caitlin Clark’s choice to pass on Reese following the conclusion of the WNBA All-Star draft. Reese has five consecutive games with 15 points or more and 15 rebounds or more before the WNBA All-Star draft.
