Caitlin Clark has been mocked by Angel Reese’s mom as the duo’s fierce rivalry kicks off once again ahead of the 2025 WNBA season.
The feud between Clark and Reese is longstanding, after it was first fired up during the 2023 NCAA Championship game. Reese’s LSU Tigers defeated Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes, and the former celebrated with some taunting gestures in front of the point guard.
While both players have downplayed the incident and the subsequent ones that followed as just typical competitiveness, the narrative has continued into their WNBA careers. And now, Reese’s mom – who is also called Angel – has reignited the fire 10 days before the new season begins.

Clark returned to her old college stomping ground last weekend, as her Fever team took on the Brazil national team in an exhibition match at the Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The non-competitive fixture drew in a sold-out crowd of 14,998 fans, as fans headed to the courts to watch the 23-year-old showcase her skills.
This attendance figure was celebrated by Clark fans across social media, which was noticed by the mother of the Chicago Sky star – who couldn’t hold back with an aimed dig on X.
Writing on the social media platform, she said: “Aww that certain fan base looking in the stands celebrating “attendance” while others are looking up in the rafters celebrating championship banners. We ain’t the same. Different year same haters – Have a great day.”
Reese’s mom’s dig referenced her daughter’s NCAA Championship win in 2023 over Clark, claiming that fans of the Fever star can only celebrate statistics while her family focus on silverware.
However, Clark’s fans will be able to dangle the Rookie of the Year carrot in front of the Sky player; as the Fever star beat every new star – including Reese – to the prestigious accolade.
Clark and Reese will meet again on the opening day of the 2025 season, as Indiana hosts Chicago at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 17. Fans will be excited to tune in for what promises to be another year of fierce competition and excitement across the league – but this duo are one of the hottest topics coming out of the sport.

However, both athletes have come out in the past to put respect on each others name, as Reese admitted last year that she would love to play alongside her opponent one day.
In 2024, the 23-year-old said: “Me and Caitlin have been playing against each other since we were kids.
“It’s just a full circle moment of how women are viewed when it comes to trash talking and it’s okay, in men’s sport. So we’re going to normalize that in women’s sports as well. It’s just super competitive.
“I think we’re two great competitors. We brought a lot of fans to this league, and I thought, we’re going to continue to do that and one day, hopefully we can be teammates.”

Clark was also vocal about her respect for Reese, as she praised her rival during an interview with Time magazine – who named her Athlete of the Year for 2024.
Regarding the rivalry, Clark said: “I don’t get that at all. We’re not best friends, by any means, but we’re very respectful of one another.
“Yes, we have had tremendous battles. But when have I ever guarded her? And when has she guarded me?”
