WNBA: Caitlin Clark facing major accusation with Team USA

Caitlin Clark faces Angel Reese backlash during Team USA game

In her last three games, Clark has been averaging 12.3 points and 6.3 assists. She is also shooting an efficient 62.5% from the field and 53.8% from three. In Clark’s Team USA debut, she scored 17 points and had 12 assists.

However, in their game against Puerto Rico, she was in a bit of a slump. Clark only scored eight points. She was also inefficient, shooting 33% from the field and only 20% from three. On top of that, she drew a lot of flak. A video from the game showed Clark apparently ignoring Angel Reese’s high-five attempt.

This drew a lot of attention online, criticizing Clark’s behavior towards her Team USA teammate.

“Why is she ignoring her @grok? Do they have beef,” a user commented.

“Hella disrespectful and that does look intentional sadly,” a viewer added.

“How would you tell me she didn’t see that hand?” a comment said along with a funny meme.

“That’s a character flaw on her, dont matter if you dont like someone or not, when you represent the Star and stripes you band together. She obviously still salty about not winning the natty,” a reaction read.

“I get it.  But you’re currently on the same team.  Clark needs to take the high road, be the good person regardless…doing so invalidates all of the prior shade Reese has thrown at you.  Don’t be like her, that gives Reese credibility in the eyes of those who want to doubt you,” another said.

“I can’t see CC leaving her teammate hanging like that. But I admit, it’s not a good look,” a supporter declared.

The rivalry between Clark and Reese goes way back to their collegiate basketball days. It extended when they turned pro. Despite that, both stars are now considered the “face of the league.”

Now that they’re teammates for Team USA, WNBA legend Lisa Leslie praised their partnership for the national team. Either way, both Reese and Clark will be the future of the WNBA and the USA National Team.
