Caitlin Clark Sends 1-word Message To Angel Reese's Former Teammate

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese both had historic rookie seasons in the WNBA last year. Now, anticipation is building before the two young stars face off in the opening game of their respective sophomore campaigns on May 17.

Clark averaged an impressive 19.2 points and league-leading 8.4 assists per game during her first professional season, and Reese contributed 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per contest, which also led the league. Both of their notable years ended with earning spots on the All-Rookie team, but their rivalry and notoriety began building at the college level. 

The two faced off in the 2023 NCAA National Championship, where Reese famously mocked Clark to her face, doing her "You Can't See Me" celebration in the final moments of the game. Reese's teammate at LSU, Flau'Jae Johnson, was also a major component of that victory, and she has parlayed her success off the court into a star career in popular media.

Johnson recently released a song in which she uses Clark's name in the lyrics, which caused a frenzy on social media. Clark responded to Johnson's song by posting a quick message on her Instagram story.

"????????????????????????????????????elite," wrote Clark.

Johnson and Reese played together for two seasons at LSU before the Sky selected Reese with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. Johnson has been a star in college so far, winning the 2022-23 SEC Rookie of the Year award before improving even more over her next two campaigns.

She is not draft-eligible yet, but Johnson should be one of the top choices in next year's draft. Johnson and Reese are still close friends, and her latest interaction with Clark proves that these young stars are closer than the media would lead most to believe.
