The rivalry between Caitlin Clark<\/a> and Angel Reese<\/a> has been one of basketball\u2019s most followed storylines, tracing back to their epic college clashes with the Iowa Hawkeyes and LSU<\/a> Tigers. Their competition carried over into the 2024 WNBA<\/a> Draft, where Clark was selected first overall by the Indiana Fever<\/a>, and Reese went seventh to the Chicago Sky<\/a>, fueling comparisons throughout their rookie campaigns and into the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

But while the two have often been viewed as rivals, both stars share the same uniform, this time for USA Basketball, marking the first time they\u2019ve been teammates since the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game.<\/p>\n
