Chicago Sky Sentinel (DR) / Indiana Fever (DR)

Caitlin Clark dominated her duel with Angel Reese on Thursday night, unofficially winning the rookie of the year award. But the point guard says she’s not interested in the award, to which her opponent responded.

Despite the pressure from several media outlets, including a recent highly controversial ranking from ESPN , the race for the rookie of the year seems to have been over for a long time in the WNBA.

Caitlin Clark has raised the tone with the Fever and is now fighting for a place in the playoffs, while Angel Reese’s Sky are struggling with 5 losses in a row. The latest one comes from Clark, with a red-hot LeBron James .

With this latest performance, there is no longer any doubt that Clark will be crowned rookie of the year in a few weeks.

She dominates her opponents and wants this place in the playoffs at all costs, in the hope of beating the best. It is also a priority for the player , just like Reese.

The latter confirmed her counterpart’s words.

Angel Reese says she and Caitlin Clark don’t care about the rookie of the year debate: “We don’t care about rookie of the year… I think you wanted to make it a big deal.”

The two best rookies of the year constantly being compared? That’s not surprising, even for the WNBA.

However, criticism has been flying at Reese after such a statement, especially when the Sky player places importance on her statistics.

Whether we’re talking about the game Thursday night where she stayed on the court until the end for a double-double or against the Liberty recently , it’s clear that winning isn’t the only thing that motivates her.

She doesn’t care because she knows she has no chance of winning it.

Easy to say now that it’s clearer than ever. Clark >

Fans aren’t convinced by Angel Reese’s statement, especially when you see his desire to pile up the stats on certain games. It’s another matter for Caitlin Clark, who is clearly having an exceptional season.
