Angel Reese (Photo via @shawnamj_/Twitter)Angel Reese could not snag the bragging rights from her first encounter with Caitlin Clark in the pros.
The former college stars lined up against each other on Saturday afternoon, with the Indiana Fever hosting the Chicago Sky.
Clark and the Fever would earn their first home win of the season after what’s been a tough start to the 2024 season, though the former Iowa star struggled offensively, scoring just 11 points on 4-of-11 from the floor and 2-of-9 from three.
She was also the victim of a vicious body check from Chennedy Carter, who decked her while she was awaiting an inbounds pass.

While Reese wasn’t involved in the play, she’s taking heat for being classless as she jumped off the bench to celebrate Carter’s nasty hit on Clark.
She also embraced her teammate while she walked to the Sky’s bench after the whistle blew to end the third quarter.

VIDEO: CAITLIN CLARK CAUGHT SCREAMING AT KATE MARTIN IN FEVER-ACES
On Saturday night, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever went up against Kate Martin and the Las Vegas Aces.
This was the first time the two former Iowa Hawkeyes teammates went up against each other in the WNBA. Martin took the first head-to-head matchup with a 99-80 win.
Clark had a below-average game, recording just eight points, five rebounds, and seven assists. Martin, however, had her best game as a pro, scoring 12 points and grabbing seven rebounds.
During the final stretch of the game, when Martin was inbounding the ball for the Aces, Clark was seen screaming at Martin to distract her from making a pass. It was all in good fun though.
