Caitlin Clark is changing the WNBA — and Angel Reese is not hiding how she feels about it.

After weeks of sold-out crowds and skyrocketing ticket demand, WNBA teams are making a historic move: they’re relocating Caitlin Clark’s away games from smaller arenas to full-sized NBA stadiums. It’s a decision that speaks volumes about her star power… but it’s also triggering some serious side-eye from fellow rookie and longtime rival Angel Reese.

Teams like the New York Liberty, Las Vegas Aces, and Washington Mystics aren’t taking any chances — they’re moving her games into NBA arenas to meet the overwhelming demand.

Others came to her defense, saying Reese deserves more respect too — but the tone of her posts has sparked a full-on fanbase war online.

What’s Really Going On Here?

To be fair, Reese has been a star in her own right, from LSU to the WNBA. But right now, Caitlin Clark is the one filling 20,000-seat arenas — and Angel doesn’t like being in someone else’s shadow.

Final Word:

Caitlin Clark is taking her game to NBA arenas. Angel Reese is taking her frustration to social media.

 

Whether it’s jealousy or just ultra-competitive fire, one thing’s for sure:
This rivalry just went from on the court… to off it.
