Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will be teammates for the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game against the women’s Olympic team.
Caitlin Clark doesn’t want to steal the spotlight at the 2024 WNBA All-Star game, which will take place in Phoenix on July 20.
Clark, who was the No. 1 overall pick by the Fever in this year’s WNBA draft, and Angel Reese, the No. 7 pick by the Sky, headline Team WNBA that will face Team USA — made up of the WNBA players selected to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics — in the league’s 20th edition of the All-Star game.
However, Clark explained that she doesn’t want the buzz about the former college rivals becoming first-time teammates to overshadow the big weekend.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been her teammate before, even with USA Basketball or anything like that,” Clark said in a postgame press conference after Tuesday’s 88-69 loss to the Aces. “I know people are going to be really excited about it, but I hope it doesn’t take away from everybody else. This is a huge accomplishment for everybody on Team USA and everybody on Team WNBA. They all deserve the same praise.
“I don’t want it to take away from any of that and just be the focal point of All-Star weekend because that’s not fair to them.
