Caitlin Clark vs Angel Reese drama may soon go on in 2 leagues at once and it could get way more intense
Nick Wright explains why Caitlin Clark is the clear Rookie of the Year at this point in the WNBA season over Angel Reese, then dives into the social media talk among both players across W coverage.
Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have already taken their tense rivalry from college basketball to the WNBA.
However, there might be another stage just waiting to host more battles between the two stars.
A new startup women's basketball league, Unrivaled, is set to launch, led by current WNBA players Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier. The biggest difference between this new league and the WNBA is Unrivaled would feature a 3-on-3 format, rather than 5-on-5. That means a greater emphasis on a smaller number of players. Unrivaled will only have 30 players in its first season.
Reese has already agreed to join in on the fun, announcing her intention to play in Unrivaled back in July. Reese became the 10th player to join the league, alongside Stewart, Collier, Chelsea Gray, Arike Ogunbowale, Jewell Loyd, Kelsey Plum, Rhyne Howard, Kahleah Copper and Jackie Young.
Now, the league is making an aggressive push to bring on Clark as well.

Unrivaled is preparing to offer Clark a deal similar to the one that brought soccer legend Lionel Messi to MLS in the U.S. last year, according to a report by Front Office Sports. Inter Miami FC of the MLS coughed up $150 million, partial ownership and other financial incentives to bring Messi to the U.S.-based soccer league.
