Gap Between Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese Is Turning Heads After Sky Star’s New Milestone originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
WNBA All-Star Weekend has come to a close in Indianapolis, as Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier's team got the victory against Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark's squad, 151-131. Regular season games are set to resume Tuesday.
The Fever guard has suffered three individual injuries that have sidelined her a total of 10 games, holding the Fever back from finding a consistent rhythm and subsequently keeping them from escaping the .500 zone.
On the other hand, the Chicago Sky, although only tallying seven wins on the season, have seen impressive individual performances from Angel Reese, their 2024 No. 7 overall pick. Reese is averaging 14 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game this season and has set several records, such as becoming the fastest player to record 40 double-doubles and the most rebounds through a player's first 50 games, to name a few.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, Reese achieved a new milestone, this time off the court.
Angel Reese reached 5 million Instagram followers, the most of any WNBA player. She leads the closest, Clark, by 1.5 million. This feat has caught the attention of fans.
"This is such a win," wrote a fan.
"Love all the W!" wrote another fan.
"Reese is the face of the league," said a fan.
"Chi Town Barbie at @1," said another.
"Angel got the most and she doesn’t even care about being over anyone," one fan said.
"Reese all night," one wrote.
Reese and the Sky are set to get back into regular-season action on Tuesday when they visit the league-best Minnesota Lynx.
