Chicago Sky star Angel Reese is set to face off with Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark

The Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever are set to face off on Saturday in perhaps the most anticipated WNBA matchup of the season. With multiple great battles in college, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will be going head to head for the first time in the WNBA, which has the whole basketball world buzzing.

Neither Clark’s Fever nor Reese’s Sky have been lighting it up this season, as Indiana enters this matchup just 1-8 on the year, while Chicago is an even .500 at 3-3. That said, it is still very early, and both teams feel they can improve as the year goes on.

Ahead of this highly anticipated matchup, Reese shared an Instagram post that has been going viral:

The post includes the caption, “1999 Shaq” which is seemingly in reference to a popular social media trend right now where people use an elite season of a players’ career as a way to compliment someone.

Reese also shared a post on X ahead of this matchup:

While Reese and Clark have a mutual respect for one another as competitors, things have gotten chippy between the two stars in college, which adds to the intrigue surrounding this matchup. For Indiana, this will be a big test against a Chicago team that is ahead of them in the standings.

While much of the focus is on the Reese vs. Clark battle, both players would say it’s more about Indiana vs. Chicago.
