Sunday will bring the second WNBA rematch between Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.
These two rookies rose to global superstardom in tandem, after Reese taunted Clark in the waning moments of the 2023 NCAA Championship game.
Now, well over a year later, both women have risen to an unprecedented level of fame, and have helped catapult women’s basketball to a new stratosphere within the eyes of pop culture.
WNBA players should be thankful that players like Clark and Reese have come along. And one player that wasn’t afraid to praise them is Mercury Phoenix center, Brittney Griner.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Griner said of these two rookies, “I love the hype.”
“I love everything. I love the fact that we have all these new fans. I think the momentum is definitely growing,” Griner added.
Griner is all for the added attention that Reese and Clark bring to her league. And we expect that she’ll be watching live when the two iconic rookies meet again on Sunday.
