WNBA Makes Big Announcement on Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese Battle

The Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky have a highly anticipated battle coming up

The Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky are set to face off on Saturday, which will be the first WNBA meeting between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. The two star rookies had some incredible battles in college, as Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes and Reese’s LSU Tigers formed a bit of a rivalry the past two years.

Ahead of this highly anticipated matchup between Indiana and Chicago, the WNBA made an announcement, officially naming this their Game of the Week in the following statement on X:

“Game of the Week: From college to the pros The [Chicago Sky’s] Angel Reese and [Indiana Fever’s] Caitlin Clark will go head-to-head for the first time as rookies on ESPN!”

The WNBA also highlighted that this is the first Commissioner’s Cup matchup of the season, and it will tip-off at 12:00 PM ET on June 1st. ESPN will carry the broadcast for this big game.

While the WNBA made the big announcement that this will be their Game of the Week, it may very well be the league’s game of the year up until this point. Clark and Reese broke several viewership records in their latest college battle, and their first WNBA meeting should be no different.

Even the NBA got in on the Clark vs. Reese hype, putting out this post on X:

Needless to say, the whole basketball world will be tuned in for this Fever vs. Sky game on Saturday.
