Angel Reese accused of jealousy toward Caitlin Clark after side-eye moment
Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark got their season 2 WNBA rivalry going on Saturday. Fans went buzzing and accused Chicago Sky star Reese for being seemingly jealous of her Indiana Fever rival after she gave Clark a side-long glance after making a tough shot.
The incident took place in the first half of the Fever's dominant 93-58 victory over the Sky in Indianapolis. After Clark drained a step-back 3-pointer over Kia Nurse, Reese was caught on camera giving her a side-eye.
Fans took note of the moment and shared their thoughts on X (formerly Twitter), particularly how Angel Reese was apparently projecting jealous vibes.

Angel Reese takes loss to Caitlin Clark and the Fever in stride
Angel Reese took her season-opening defeat to Cailtin Clark and the Indiana Fever in stride, saying that it was just the first game of the season and that the Sky have enough time to make adjustments.
Reese spoke about it in the postgame press conference following their defeat to the Fever on Saturday in Indianapolis. The Chicago All-Star forward highlighted that it was just the start of the new season and that the loss wasn't indicative of the team the Sky have this year.
"It's May. We don't want to look the same now in July. So, take one game at a time. ... We have 43 games left, so, just taking our time, day to day, and leaning from the mistakes," Reese said.
Chicago kept in step with Indiana in the opening quarter, down by just five points, 22-17. The Sky, though, were outscored, 71-41, in the next three quarters as they slumped to defeat.
Angel Reese top-scored for the Sky with 12 points, with Ariel Atkins adding 11. For the Fever, four players scored in double-digits, led by Clark's 20, followed by Aliyah Boston with 19 and Natasha Howard and Kelsey Mitchell with 15 points each.
The Sky play the Fever next on June 7 at United Center in Chicago.
