Caitlin Clark, the standout player for the Indiana Fever, and Angel Reese, the forward for the Chicago Sky, once again captivated WNBA fans with their intense rivalry in a Friday game. The Fever emerged victorious with a score of 100-81 over the Sky, intensifying the ongoing debate for the Rookie of the Year.

Amidst various player and analyst speculations, a superstar from the NBA recently joined the discussion to support his favorite player. Following the game, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, recently praised by Lakers owner, expressed his support for Clark on his X account.

In a recent post, James wrote, “CAITLIN CLARK!!!! HI HATERS.” The four-time NBA champion supported Clark as Rookie of the Year. However, Reese’s previous posts trolling King James have resurfaced after the Lakers superstar supported Clark for the WNBA Rookie of the Year award.

In June 2021, the Lakers lost to the Phoenix Suns in their first-round playoff series. James was trolled on social media, with comments suggesting that he didn’t have enough support to win with his team. Reese mocked the idea in response to a Twitter post criticizing James and wrote, “No, LeBron was no help.”

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese Face Off in Friday’s Game

In her debut season, Clark has already begun making history in the WNBA by setting records and achieving milestones. The 22-year-old point guard became the first rookie to achieve a triple-double and set the WNBA record for most assists in a single game. Considered one of the greatest collegiate players of all time, Clark delivered an outstanding performance against the Sky in Friday’s game, scoring 31 points, providing 12 assists, and securing four rebounds.

On the other hand, Reese, who recently set the WNBA record for consecutive double-doubles, scored 10 points, made two assists, and grabbed 11 rebounds. The former LSU player, who won the NCAA championship in 2023, has been making waves in her debut professional season. Moreover, in a 70-62 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on June 30, she achieved her tenth consecutive double-double, surpassing Candace Parker for the longest single-season streak in WNBA history.
