Caitlin Clark Comments on Angel Reese’s Season-Ending Injury

“It’s definitely sad anytime you see anybody go down with an injury,” said Clark.

While it seems almost a given that the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark, the top overall pick of the 2024 WNBA Draft, will claim the league’s Rookie of the Year award, her biggest challenger was her biggest rival in college.

Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky posted a historic rookie season that broke numerous league records. However, that season came to an end when she suffered a season-ending wrist injury on Friday. She was also a contender for the Rookie of the Year award, but her absence over the final six games has made Clark an overwhelming favorite to claim the trophy.
