C<\/a>aitlin Clark\u00a0and\u00a0Angel Reese\u00a0have picked up right where they left off. In fact, they\u2019ve actually ramped things up, as the former Iowa Hawkeyes star showed her rival a new side to her in their opening game on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Clark, who found herself on the end of some harsh physicality during her rookie season, spent her offseason getting stronger in the gym and wasted little time sending a message to Reese and any would-be bully, hitting the Sky forward with a hefty foul late in the contest.<\/p>\n

The Fever and Sky faced off to open their 2025\u00a0WNBA\u00a0seasons in what was a no-brainer scheduling decision for the league. The game lived up to the hype in terms of the expected feistiness, but it was an easy win for Indiana, who blew Reese and the Sky out 93-58.<\/p>\n

With less than five minutes left in the third quarter, Reese was attempting to score from the post after snatching a rebound but was fouled by Clark, who\u00a0sent her sprawling.<\/p>\n
