Love her or hate her, it’s impossible to ignore the impact of Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese since she entered the WNBA in 2024.

Following her rookie campaign, which was cut short by a wrist injury, Reese has continued to put up prolific numbers for the Sky in her sophomore year.

She is averaging 13.8 points, a league-best 12.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.4 steals.

No matter what she does, Reese will always be connected to Caitlin Clark. They have been rivals dating back to their time at the college basketball level.

Reese and Clark twice faced off in the NCAA Tournament. They both won one game, but Reese won the ultimate award.

Angel Reese and the Tigers topped Clark and the Hawkeyes in the 2023 national championship game. Clark and the Hawkeyes got revenge in the Elite Eight in 2024.


There is interest in both players, but there is also a clear difference.

TMZ Sports recently asked Ice Cube if the Big3, the 3-on-3 basketball league he co-founded, can make an offer to Reese similar to its $5 million proposal for Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark last year.

Clark ultimately declined it.

Ice Cube admitted that they can’t do the same for the 23-year-old Reese.

“Yeah, she’s a great player. The thing with Caitlin Clark, it was just to unlock, you know, millions of dollars for the league because of her stardom. What our sponsors were telling us, you know, they didn’t tell us the same thing about Angel Reese. So I don’t know if we can make that (same offer),” said Ice Cube.

Ouch.

Angel Reese is Flourishing in Year Two

Reese started off rough in her second season, but has picked things up considerably.

She is averaging 13.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 3.7 assists through 22 games.

Unfortunately, she has been out of the last few games.

Sky coach Tyler Marsh told reporters Reese is still considered day-to-day, adding: “We don’t want to push her too much with a back injury, but she’s progressing.”
