Caitlin Clark played a crucial role in the WNBA All-Star team’s win over Team USA and head coach Cheryl Reeve on Saturday night. Both she and Angel Reese were out for revenge after being left off the Olympic roster and are looking forward to their chance to play together for the United States in four years.
If they continue to dominate, it will be impossible to deny them spots on the team for Los Angeles!
Team WNBA won the highly-competitive exhibition game by eight points, which Clark sees more as a testament to the league’s talent than vindication for her snub. The No. 1 overall pick wanted to play in Paris but looks forward to the time off for rest. Team USA is going to be just fine.
Reeve, who has been consistently standoffish toward Clark over the last three months, lost to the Indiana Fever’s 22-year-old superstar for the second time in one week on Saturday. Despite being humbled twice in seven days, she continues to be short and sharp.
Reeve needs to undergo an attitude adjustment before the trip overseas because international reporters are not going to stop asking Reeve about the biggest star in women’s basketball. It’s a bad look to stay bitter. The decision to leave Clark off of the team was always going to be the biggest talking point, so deal with it.
To make optics even worse, it’s not like Team USA wasn’t focused on Clark throughout the entire game. Reeve elected to faceguard her all 26 minutes she was on the floor and still couldn’t stop her!
Caitlin Clark was cooking.
Kelsey Plum was up in Clark’s grill during the second half but she managed to break through the tight defense and deliver a dish to Aliyah Boston for the easy two. It was a big time sequence.
Clark finished with 10 assists but only four points and one rebound. Seemingly every single one of her three-point attempts rattled in and out, and she was dropping dimes as a distributor.
Angel Reese was on the receiving end of a few of Clark’s passes and finished with yet another double-double.
Neither rookie was chosen for Team USA in 2024, but both are eagerly anticipating the chance to play together in L.A. in 2028! The only hurdle? Cheryl Reeve needs to step down from her high horse and let them join the team… We’ll see!
