Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have picked up right where they left off. In fact, they’ve actually ramped things up, as the former Iowa Hawkeyes star showed her rival a new side to her in their opening game on Saturday afternoon.

Clark, who found herself on the end of some harsh physicality during her rookie season, spent her offseason getting stronger in the gym and wasted little time sending a message to Reese and any would-be bully, hitting the Sky forward with a hefty foul late in the contest.

The Fever and Sky faced off to open their 2025 WNBA seasons in what was a no-brainer scheduling decision for the league. The game lived up to the hype in terms of the expected feistiness, but it was an easy win for Indiana, who blew Reese and the Sky out 93-58.

With less than five minutes left in the third quarter, Reese was attempting to score from the post after snatching a rebound but was fouled by Clark, who sent her sprawling.

If we’re being honest, Reese’s seemed a bit theatrical as the foul, while hard, didn’t look like it should have sent her flailing the way she did.

She made it very clear that she didn’t appreciate the hit, springing up and snapping on Caitlin, while the referee and other Fever players got between them.

They can’t claim there’s nothing going on after this.

Caitlin Clark didn’t just arrive at the Indiana Fever’s season opener, she owned the moment. Arriving at the United Center ahead of the Indiana Fever’s opener against the Chicago Sky, Clark walked in with the kind of quiet confidence that only she can pull off. Wearing a sleek, dark see-through suit paired with heels, the Fever star looked every bit the face of the WNBA.

The WNBA captured the moment on social media, posting a video on X with the caption: “Caitlin Clark has arrived.”

The post immediately caught fire, with fans and media buzzing about her bold pregame fashion choice. Clark’s outfit blended edge with elegance, setting a tone before the opening tip-off that she means business this season.

With Indiana looking to start strong after a long offseason, Clark stepped onto the stage dressed like someone ready to carry a franchise. The Fever haven’t played a competitive game since September 25, and Saturday’s clash with Chicago kicks off what’s expected to be one of the most talked-about rivalries in the league.

 

The 2025 WNBA schedule has Indiana and Chicago meeting five times in the regular season, and that’s not even counting a possible playoff showdown. Coming off a great rookie year, Clark enters her sophomore season with high expectations. Several major sportsbooks list her as the early favorite for league MVP, but Clark isn’t thinking about awards right now. She’s focused on wins- starting with this one.

“I’m locked in on getting this team off to a strong start,” Clark said earlier this week. “We’ve put in the work. Now it’s time to show it.”

Facing off against Angel Reese and a revamped Sky roster, Clark knew the cameras would be rolling. The game aired on ESPN, drawing national attention not just for the matchup but for what it represents: a new era of WNBA rivalries, driven by rising stars with serious game and just as much personality.

Clark’s look turned heads, but her mindset stays the same. She came dressed like a leader, and now it’s about playing like one.
