Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese could team up for the WNBA All-Star Game

Caitlin Clark, left out of the Olympic team, may get a chance to make a statement – ​​with Angel Reese by her side.

Clark is the second-highest vote-getter for the WNBA All-Star Game behind A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces, meaning the No. 1 draft pick will almost certainly be part of Team WNBA.

Her rookie rival Angel Reese, who made WNBA history on Thursday as the first rookie to record seven consecutive double-doubles, is in seventh place with 118,490 fan votes.

The top 10 vote-getters in the All-Star voting are Team WNBA, which will face Team USA in an exhibition game before heading to Paris.

Reese and Clark, both left out of the Olympic roster, will most likely team up on the All-Star side, giving them a chance to prove themselves for USA Basketball.

The two incipient phenomena working together? Who would have thought that?

Clark, who led the Fever on a three-game winning streak, is 16th in the league in scoring at 16.3 points per game and is third in assists with 6.2 per game.

The highly popular Clark was controversially left off the star-studded Olympic squad, which is led by Wilson, a five-time All-Star, two-time WNBA MVP and two-time WNBA champion.

The Aces center, who received 217,773 votes, leads the league with 27.9 points per game and is rebounding with 11.3 points per game this season.

She will make her second Olympic appearance with Team USA in Paris this summer, along with other WNBA stars: Brittney Griner, Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi, Sabrina Ionescu, Jackie Young, Alyssa Thomas, Kelsey Plum, Jewell Loyd, Napheesa Collier, Kahleah Copper and Chelsea Grey.

Some likely familiar faces who will make up Team WNBA alongside Clark and Reese include Aliyah Boston, Arike Ogunbowale and Dearica Hamby.

In the Fever’s 88–81 win over the Mystics at home, Clark finished with 18 points and a career-high 12 rebounds, helping her team secure a three-game win streak.

“I think everyone in our world likes instant gratification,” said Clark, who also recorded six assists and four steals. “No one came in here and said we were going to be WNBA champions from Day 1 in our locker room. That was never our goal. Our goal was to get back to the play-offs and we fight for that every night.

The rosters for the 2024 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will be revealed on July 2.
