The race is on for Rookie of the Year in the WNBA, with Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever and Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky seeming to be the top choices for it. Now, ESPN’s Carolyn Peck has shared the reason why she’s giving the nod to Reese over Clark if the season ended now. “It is a thin, thin line. It’s really tight, but when you look at where the teams are,” Peck said. “And I also went a little deeper and I looked at plus/minus and I also look at NET rating. When you look at that, Angel Reese has to get the nod.” The race is tight between the two young stars. For now, though, BetOnline...

During her career at Iowa, Caitlin Clark became known for her ability to get a triple-double any given night. She did so 17 times, and flirted with the feat a few times through the early part of her WNBA career. Saturday, she finally did it. Clark became the first rookie in league history to record a triple-double, and it helped her Indiana Fever to a come-from-behind victory over the No. 1-seeded New York Liberty. She finished with 19 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists as Indiana got the 83-78 victory at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. After the game, Clark remained the team player she’s been since sh...

In Saturday’s showdown between the Fever and Liberty, it was all Indiana out of the gate. But New York turned the tables in the second half to take a 62-55 lead into the fourth quarter. Caitlin Clark was quiet for most of the third quarter, but pointed out what went wrong as the Liberty made a run. She said the Fever have to play their game while also playing with some urgency – a tough balancing act against the WNBA’s No. 1 seed. “I think we’re at our best when we’re pushing in transition,” Clark told CBS’ Tiffany Blackmon ahead of the fourth quarter. “I think we can get a little bit more org...

The WNBA announced its 2024 All-Star teams on Tuesday night, and for the first time in a decade there are two rookies that will be participating in the annual showdown: Indiana’s Caitlin Clark and Chicago’s Angel Reese. Needless to say, the popularity and draw of those two players will be a significant storyline that weekend. Clark just hopes it isn’t too big. “I don’t think I’ve ever been her teammate before, even with USA Basketball or anything like that,” Clark said of Reese. “So I know people are going to be really excited about it, but I hope it doesn’t take away from everybody else.” The...

The WNBA announced its 2024 All-Star teams on Tuesday night, featuring a pair of rookies for the first time since 2014. And those rookies landed a commanding share of the fan vote this season. The way the WNBA operates, All-Star selections are made through a combination of voting by fans (50% of the vote), current WNBA players (25%) and a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters (25%). So if you can get the fan vote, you’re in great shape. And the two rookies who made the team this year — the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark and the Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese — are as popular as just about...
