These past few weeks have seen increased interest in the WNBA, especially in games that feature forward Angel Reese and point guard Caitlin Clark. But after a flagrant foul done by the Chicago Sky rookie on the latter, former NFL quarterback Matt Leinart is now calling for a firmer punishment on Reese.
Before entering the WNBA, Reese made a name for herself by leading the LSU Tigers to an NCAA championship victory over a year ago. Although her team suffered a loss to Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes in the recent NCAA Tournament, Reese’s skills and performance caught attention, resulting in her selection as the seventh pick for the Chicago Sky.
Since her debut in the professional league, Reese has been demonstrating her talent on the court. In 10 games, the forward has consistently displayed impressive numbers, averaging 11.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.9 steals. Her shooting accuracy has also been noteworthy, with a 34 percent field goal percentage and 71 percent free throw percentage.
Reese and Clark have a history of competitive matchups, with their previous NCAA duel resulting in a decisive victory for Clark’s Iowa team. The rivalry between these two college superstars is well-documented, and fans speculate that the intensity hasn’t faded, particularly after Reese’s seemingly pointed comment about Clark following the WNBA Draft. With such a fiery exchange, anticipation builds for a heated showdown when they face each other in the professional league.
