Angel Reese Takes Clear WNBA Rookie of the Year Dig at Caitlin Clark After Triple-Double

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark recorded the first ever triple-double by a WNBA rookie during Saturday’s win over the New York Liberty.

Clark finished the game with 19 points, 13 assists, and 12 rebounds in 38 minutes played.

And considering the historic performance that Clark produced, it’s easy to forget that fellow rookie Angel Reese went off last night during the Chicago Sky’s win over the Seattle Storm.

The “Chi Barbie” scored a career-high 27 points to go along with 10 rebounds in the 88-84 win. And it was per 12th consecutive double-double, which also set a WNBA record.

And Reese wants to remind fans that she, too, is a WNBA record-breaker.

Reese reposted an X post from the Chicago Sky in the wake of Clark’s performance that wrote, “Record setter. THE front runner.”

Reese and the Sky asserting that she’s “THE front runner” is a clear dig at Clark, as the two are currently considered neck and neck for 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year.

There’s still plenty of time for either rookie to set themselves apart from the other in this thrilling Rookie of the Year race.

We look forward to seeing what Reese will do against the Storm on Sunday.
