Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark arrive for hotly-anticipated WNBA showdown with Sky rookie rocking eye-catching ensemble
Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have arrived in Chicago.
The rookies were photographed in the tunnel at Wintrust Arena Sunday afternoon ahead of the Indiana Fever’s third showdown against the Chicago Sky.
Reese turned heads in a barely-there ensemble, including a brown lace-up top and matching mini skirt.
She added a pair of distressed, knee-high boots, a white handbag and several gold bangles on her wrist.
Meanwhile, Clark showcased her ongoing partnership with Prada by stepping out in polo style shirt-dress from the Italian luxury fashion house.
She accessorized the forest green dress by adding a brown belt around her waist, and a gold watch on her wrist.
The Iowa alum also donned a pair of black loafers with matching socks and a black handbag from the brand.
The pair’s highly-anticipated showdown comes a couple of days after the Indiana superstar insisted she and Reese do not have a ‘rivalry’ amid controversy surrounding their recent battles on the court.
‘I’m pretty sure that the only people who view this as a rivalry is all of you,’ she told reporters.
‘For us, it’s just a game of basketball. That’s what it is. If it’s going to help move the game forward then absolutely. That’s amazing. That’s what it should be. People can talk about it,’ she went on.
‘We’re excited. We have to wipe this (the Atlanta win), learn from it. We travel tonight, get there, practice, prep and then play the next day at 4pm. Like I said, if that’s what is going to help the game move forward then absolutely (call it a rivalry).
‘I think the two prior matchups lived up to what everyone was expecting, just really great basketball games honestly.’
Clark was brutally bodychecked to the ground by Reese’s teammate, Chennedy Carter in her first game against Sky earlier this month – with Reese leaping up off the bench to cheer the challenge.
Two weeks later, the LSU alum appeared to hit Clark in the headas she tried to block a shot at the rim and was handed a flagrant foul.
Reese threw shade at her longtime rival after the game, claiming Clark gets ‘a special whistle’ from referees to protect her.
However, competition between the pair is undeniably good for business, with tonight’s showdown set to have some of the most expensive tickets in WNBA history.
The average purchase price for a single ticket for the game was $358 – the priciest since 2015.
