Caitlin Clark’s rough weekend in the WNBA: What happened?

LA Times

The two WNBA rookies were rivals in college. Their teams — Clark’s Hawkeyes and Reese’s Louisiana State Tigers — played in the 2023 NCAA championship game, with LSU claiming a 102-85 victory. Late in the game, Reese was seen waving her hand and pointing to her ring finger in front of Clark, apparently showing the Iowa star where the championship ring would go. Last month, Reese tweeted, then deleted, a comment that was interpreted as a slam toward Clark and the idea that the WNBA’s surge in popularity and the league’s decision to allow charter flights for the first time this season can be credited to Clark alone. She told reporters Monday: “When we go out there and play super hard, compete every single day, it’s not personal.
