Both of the rookie sensations were selected as WNBA All-Stars on Tuesday, which means they will team up on July 20.
Clark was the only player in the league to receive more than 700,000 votes, and he also received the most votes of any player. Reese received five votes.
Their rivalry has grown to be something to watch because of their shared history from the collegiate national title the previous year. But there’s no denying that the tale of the two navigating their entire drama over the past 15 months is real.
Clark is aware of it as well, but according to her, there are more pressing matters to attend to.
Clark remarked on Tuesday night, “I don’t think I’ve ever been her teammate before, even with USA Basketball or anything like that.” “I hope it doesn’t overshadow everyone else, but I know people will be quite thrilled about it. This is an enormous accomplishment for all members of both Team WNBA and Team USA. They all merit the same recognition.
