Angel Reese appeared to take a dig at Caitlin Clark in a hastily deleted tweet after Chicago Sky beat New York Liberty 90-81 on Thursday night.a
Clark, who was selected by the Indiana Fever with the first overall pick at this year’s WNBA Draft after her historic college career with Iowa, has got off to a nightmare start in the big leagues after losing her first five games.
Wednesday night’s defeat to Seattle Storm continued the 22-year-old’s torrid start to life in the WNBA, but it has been quite the opposite for Reese.
The former LSU college star has helped the Chicago Sky win two of their first three outings of the season, scoring 35 points in the process.
And following their latest victory over the Liberty, Reese seemingly fired shots at Clark in a now-deleted post on X.

Reese seemed to take aim at her former college rival with this post before quickly removing it
‘And that’s on getting a WIN in a packed area not just cause of one player on our charter flight. #SKYTOWN,’ she wrote, with a blowing-a-kiss emoji at the end.
Clark has been credited with the surge of interest in the WNBA after being picked first by Indiana in April’s Draft – the same event where Reese was picked by Chicago.
Reese and her Sky team did not have charter flights at the start of the season, but Clark and Iowa did.
Clark and the Fever have lost their first five games of the season.
And speaking Thursday, Reese hit out at suggestions women’s basketball was surging off the back of Clark alone.
‘It’s not just one person, I think people don’t realize that [because] the narrative out there is that just one person changing the game,’ she said.
‘It’s a lot of us. There’s so many great players and it’s been long overdue and just being able to see that our impact has been able to change the game.

Reese, on the other hand, has helped the Chicago Sky win two of their first three games
Reese and Clark were big rivals in their college careers, with the LSU star famously taunting her Iowa counterpart by performing her trademark celebration in 2023 (pictured)
‘I love it for us all, and we’re just going to continue to keep going.’
In a 2023 game between LSU and Iowa,
Reese memorably did WWE legend John Cena’s ‘U Can’t See Me’ gesture in front of Clark – which the latter previously made famous in a game against Louisville.
The Tigers star also looked at her college rival and pointed at her ring finger late in the fourth quarter.
In ESPN’s recently released Full Court Press docuseries, Clark shared her thoughts on the media storm that followed Reese’s celebration.
‘That’s the only thing people wanted to talk about when we just went on this magical run and united so many people, and that like was frustrating to me,’ she shared.
Iowa coach Lisa Bluder also chimed in on the subject, saying: ‘The media was trying to create a circus out of racial things, out of trying to make hatred come up, and she [Clark] just wouldn’t let it happen.’
