Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark will play on the same team this year.
Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have already taken the WNBA by storm, and after the rosters were announced on Tuesday, they are now officially All-Star teammates.
The Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky stars will both represent Team WNBA and will take on Team USA over WNBA All-Star weekend.
After the Indiana Fever lost to the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday, Caitlin Clark had a shocking reaction when she found out that she would be teammates with Angel Reese.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been her teammate before, even with USA Basketball or anything like that. So, I know people are going to be really excited about it, but I hope it doesn’t take away from everybody else.”
When it comes to fan voting, the popularity of the two rookies was on full display. Clark received 80,000 more votes than the next player on the list, while Reese also found herself in the top five, per ESPN.

The USA Women’s National Team they will be going against features A’ja Wilson, Diana Taurasi, Kelsey Plum, Sabrina Ionescu, Brittney Griner, and many others.
Dating to their playing days at Iowa and LSU, the dynamic pair and their on-court rivalry have helped propel women’s basketball to a new era.

Caitlin Clark won’t be on the Olympic team in Paris, but she has a prime opportunity to showcase her skills against the team.
After being voted to the all-star game, Clark and Team WNBA will face the Olympic team as part of the all-star weekend.

Indiana Fever star rookie Caitlin Clark has secured a deal that puts her in league with Michael Jordan.
The former Iowa Hawkeyes point guard has partnered with basketball manufacturer Wilson to release the signature “Caitlin Clark Limitless Series” of balls, marking the first collection resulting from the deal.
Clark signed a multi-year contract with Wilson in May, joining MJ as the only signature athlete to ever sign a deal with the company.
“Made for Defying Limits,” Wilson announced via Instagram on Friday. “The first collection from Caitlin Clark and Wilson Basketball arrives 7/9.”

“changed the wnba forever,” a user wrote.
“Can’t wait for this one!!!!” said another.
“I have an excited girl! This will be just in time to get for her birthday,” a third disclosed.
Caitlin Clark Is Having An Impressive Rookie Season On a personal Front
Clark is leading all WNBA rookies in points and assists this season, averaging 16.0 points and 7.1 assists. She was selected as an All-Star this week, joining Angel Reese as the only other first-year player to make the roster.
Clark, who entered the league as the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer after four seasons with Iowa, has attracted millions of eyes to WNBA basketball and is being paid very well for it, though not through her deal with the Fever.
The 22-year-old landed the most lucrative deal ever signed by a female basketball player before the start of the season, with Nike handing her a $28 million contract.
She’s likely to garner several more endorsements throughout the early stages of her career in the pros.
The Caitlin Clark-themed Wilson basketball will launch on July 9.
