Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky have continued their rivalry in the WNBA. The young basketball sensations were selected first and seventh overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft, respectively, and are leading contenders for the WNBA Rookie of the Year award. NBA analyst Chris Broussard has recently picked his favorite among the two rookies.
The No.1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft helped the Indiana Fever qualify for the Playoffs for the first time since the 2016 regular season. While Caitlin Clark leads the league in assists per game, Sky forward Angel Reese is the WNBA leader in rebounds with an average of 13.2.
Besides her season-leading assists, Clark is ranked ninth in the scoring-leaders list with 18.9 points per game. In his recent appearance on First Thing First, Chris Broussard named the former IOWA Hawkeyes star a clear winner for the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year. He said, “In many years (Angel Reese) would be ROTY. But this clearly should be Caitlin Clark… Leads the league in assists…”
Besides her playmaking, Clark also registered 42.3% shooting from the field and 34.3% three-point FG. Broussard added, “Her shooting percentage is sky-high for the WNBA… If she’s not, it’s a travesty and a bad look for the WNBA.”
Caitlin Clark Talks About Angel Reese And ROTY Award
Caitlin Clark’s Fever are on a five-game winning streak, including a 100-81 win against the Sky on Friday. Before the game between Fever and Sky, Clark was asked about her name being mentioned alongside Angel Reese in the ROTY race. The Fever guard said, “I think me and Angel would both give you the same answer. We don’t wake up and think about individual awards.”

She added, “I know that’s what all of you think we do. I know we don’t. That’s what everybody wants to make this about. Both of our teams are competing for playoff spots. That is our main focus.”
Clark recorded the most assists in a game in WNBA history, with 19 against the Dallas Wings on July 17. The Fever have qualified for the playoffs, placing sixth in the WNBA standings. On the other hand, the Sky are placed eighth, facing neck-and-neck competition from the Atlanta Dream and Washington Mystics.
Everyone Is Saying The Same Thing After A’ja Wilson Had A Very Interesting Reaction To Her Dating Rumors With Miami Heat Star Bam Adebayo

On Wednesday, Miami-Dade County mayor Daniella Levine Cava fuelled the dating rumors between three-time NBA All-Star Bam Adebayo and Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson while presenting the Miami Heat star key to the city. The two-time WNBA champion gave a compelling reaction on social media that has everyone reaching a consensus.
NBA superstar Bam Adebayo and other Miami-based Olympians received the key to the city for their success with Team USA at the Paris Olympics 2024. His rumored girlfriend, A’ja Wilson, who won the Olympics gold with the women’s team, attended the ceremony, and the mayor pointed her out.
Cava said, “A’ja Wilson, she won gold in women’s basketball. I guess that has something to do with Bam and the Heat being here today.”
Bam Adebayo And A’ja Wilson Reacted On Social Media
The two basketball stars provided interesting reactions on social media as the 27-year-old Adebayo wrote, “Getting the 🔑 today was smooth. How’s y’all Wednesday going ?” On the other hand, the two-time WNBA MVP acted evasive with her reaction.
However, the fans are convinced that a connection is forming between the two basketball stars. A fan showed his sarcasm and wrote, “Embarrassing. God forbid, someone shows up to a friend’s receiving the key to the city ceremony, even if it meant taking a 5-hour flight from Vegas to Miami after a game last night. Just what any good friend would do.”
For now, it is unclear what the two stars are up to. One thing’s clear: they both had a gold-winning Paris Olympics 2024 campaign. While Wilson was the star for the women’s team, averaging 18.6 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, Bam registered 6 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game in 16.1 minutes of average time.
