The rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark has been brewing for quite some time, but things just took a dramatic turn. Angel Reese has officially announced her plan to take down Clark, and the entire WNBA is going absolutely nuts.

From college battles to the professional stage, Reese vs. Clark has been one of the most talked-about matchups in women’s basketball. While both players bring their own unique skill sets and personalities to the game, Reese has made it crystal clear that she’s not about to let Clark dominate without a fight.

And now? She’s got a plan.

The Heated History Between Reese and Clark

The feud between these two stars didn’t start in the WNBA—it goes all the way back to their legendary NCAA days.

Caitlin Clark’s Rise to Stardom

Caitlin Clark has been one of the most electrifying players in women’s basketball. Her ability to knock down deep three-pointers, control the tempo of the game, and take over in clutch moments has made her a household name.

She dominated at Iowa, setting records and captivating millions of fans. Her insane shooting range and playmaking ability have drawn comparisons to Stephen Curry, making her transition to the WNBA one of the most highly anticipated in years.

Angel Reese: The Ultimate Competitor

On the other hand, Angel Reese is a fierce competitor, known for her defensive tenacity, rebounding dominance, and unapologetic confidence. During her time at LSU, she helped lead her team to a national championship—and she did it in style.

Reese is never afraid to play with an edge, and she has made it clear that she thrives on competition. Her famous hand wave to Clark in the NCAA championship game went viral, sparking one of the most talked-about moments in basketball history.

Now that they’re both in the WNBA, the rivalry is only getting more intense.

Reese Announces Her Plan to Stop Clark

With Clark lighting up the league and continuing to prove why she’s one of the most dangerous shooters in basketball, Reese is taking matters into her own hands.

In a bold statement, Reese announced her defensive strategy to shut down Clark, sending the WNBA world into a frenzy.

What Is Reese’s Plan?

Reese didn’t hold back when discussing how she plans to neutralize Clark’s offensive firepower. According to sources close to Reese, her game plan includes:

 Full-Court Pressure – Clark thrives when she has space to operate. Reese and her team will look to disrupt her rhythm from the moment she touches the ball.

 Double Teams & Traps – Expect to see more aggressive defensive sets whenever Clark has the ball beyond the arc. Teams that have tried to defend her one-on-one have paid the price—Reese won’t let that happen.

 Physical Defense – The WNBA is far more physical than college basketball, and Reese is one of the most dominant defensive presences in the league. She plans to bump Clark off her spots, make her uncomfortable, and wear her down over the course of the game.

 Mental Warfare – Reese is known for her trash talk and psychological tactics. She knows how to get into her opponent’s head, and Clark may be her next target. If she can disrupt Clark’s focus, she could tilt the momentum in her favor.

How the WNBA Reacted

As soon as Reese’s plan was made public, the entire WNBA world erupted.

Fans Are Divided

Some fans are excited to see Reese take on the challenge, believing that she is one of the only players capable of stopping Clark’s offensive explosion. Others feel like Reese is too focused on the rivalry and should concentrate on her own game instead.

One fan tweeted: “Angel Reese vs. Caitlin Clark is exactly what the WNBA needs! This is must-watch basketball!”
Another fan wrote: “Why is Reese always worried about Clark? Just play the game and let your skills do the talking.”

WNBA Players Weigh In

Even WNBA veterans had something to say about Reese’s comments.

A’ja Wilson: “Caitlin’s a great player, but Angel brings a different level of energy on defense. This is going to be fun to watch.”
Skylar Diggins: “Basketball is about matchups. Angel’s doing what any great competitor does—trying to win.”

The media coverage exploded, with analysts debating whether or not Reese’s plan could actually work.

Can Reese Really Stop Clark?

Now the real question is: Can Angel Reese back up her words?

Clark has faced tough defenders before and still managed to put up big numbers. She has an elite basketball IQ, and if Reese overcommits, Clark will find a way to pick the defense apart.

However, Reese does have the physical tools to make things difficult. If she and her teammates execute the game plan to perfection, Clark might have one of her toughest nights in the WNBA yet.

Either way, this matchup just became the most exciting showdown of the season.

What’s Next?

The WNBA schedule has Clark and Reese set to face off in an upcoming game, and now, all eyes will be on them.

Here’s what we can expect:
 A sold-out arena – Everyone wants to see this battle.
 High-intensity defense – Reese isn’t going to let Clark have any easy shots.
 More drama and headlines – Whether Clark dominates or Reese shuts her down, this rivalry is just getting started.

Final Thoughts

Angel Reese has thrown down the gauntlet. She’s declared her mission to stop Caitlin Clark, and now, the pressure is on both players to deliver.
