Main contenders for the WNBA Rookie of the Year trophy, Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark found themselves this Saturday on the same team. A notable first to which the young interior from Chicago reacted with viral comments.

It’s cool to see them getting along knowing everyone is trying to pit them against each other.

Relatively discreet during the match against Team USA, Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark were however delighted to wear the same colors for the first time. Enough to temper the notion of rivalry between them.
