Fans are destroying Angel Reese following her reaction to Caitlin Clark winning the coveted Rookie of the Year award.
Clark was unsurprisingly named the 2024 WNBA Kia Rookie of the Year this Thursday, coming out on top of her duel against Reese, who was also in the running before a wrist injury prematurely ended her rookie season.
The Indiana Fever guard broke multiple records this season. She averaged 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds a game in her first professional campaign, becoming the first rookie to register two triple-doubles in the WNBA. She also recorded the most points and assists by a rookie in league history, along with several other honors.
Reese lost ground in the race before she was injured as Caitlin played out of her mind in August and September, but the ordeal basically sealed the deal for the former Iowa star.
Both players insisted they did not care about potentially winning the ROY award on several occasions, but fans noticed that Reese did not congratulate Clark after she won it.
She instead took to social media to promote the latest episode of her podcast.
“NEW EPISODE OUT NOW!! WE DROPPED SOME GEMS,” Reese tweeted.
She probably wasn’t lying, given that NBA legend Dwyane Wade was her latest guest, but fans still flamed her in the comments.
