The Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese celebrated their first WNBA All-Star Game by helping Team WNBA defeat the USA Basketball women’s national team.
The two star rookies shared their thoughts on X following Team WNBA’s 117-109 victory Saturday night.
Both rookies will now get to break until the WNBA regular reason resumes following the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The Sky resume play on August 15, while Fever return to action on August 16, both against the Phoenix Mercury.
Reese became the first rookie in league history to record a double-double in an All-Star Game after contributing 12 points and 11 rebounds to Team WNBA.
Clark meanwhile set a new rookie record for All-Star assists by dishing out ten assists to her teammates in the victory.
After their historic nights, the rookies both said they are looking forward to the Olympics break following a busy first half of the year that saw the pair go from the NCAA Tournament rivals to WNBA All-Star teammates.
The next time the Olympics come around, however, Reese and Clark might not have such a relaxing WNBA schedule break. Reese said during the All-Star Game broadcast she hopes she and Clark will be representing Team USA in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
