- WNBA. WNBA All-Star Weekend Events: Everything to watch during this WNBA All Star weekend
The intense rivalry between former Iowa Hawkeyes' star Caitlin Clark and former LSU Tiger and women's college basketball national champion Angel Reese has not simmered down in the WNBA. In fact, their feud has only intensified at the professional level, and with both athletes set to play alongside each other on the WNBA All-Star Team, we could witness a new chapter in their rivalry.
Despite the possibility of them mending their beef as part of the same All-Star team, the competition for the WNBA Rookie of the Year Award is heating up, keeping their rivalry alive. Clark was initially the heavy favorite, but Reese's consistent performance as a double-double machine has put her in the spotlight. As a result, Clark no longer leads her team in points per game, and Reese has overtaken the Rookie of the Year race in some people's eyes.
According to BetMGM, the current odds for the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year award are in favor of Caitlin Clark (-1200), with Angel Reese trailing behind at (+650). The race for the award is far from over, and opinions on who deserves it vary. Both players have been putting up impressive numbers for their respective teams.
Caitlin Clark, playing for Indiana, has showcased her skills with a PPG (points per game) of 16.8, APG (assists per game) of 7.8, RPG (rebounds per game) of 5.8, STL (steals) of 1.5, and BLK (blocks) of 0.9. She has also secured a spot in the top-15 in the league for scoring, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks.

On the other hand, Angel Reese, representing Chicago, has contributed with a PPG of 13.5, APG of 1.8, RPG of 12.0, STL of 1.5, and BLK of 0.4. Her standout statistic is her remarkable average of 12.0 rebounds per game.

The WNBA All-Star game where both players will be on the same team will be a compelling event to watch, as it could potentially impact their rivalry and the race for the Rookie of the Year award. The WNBA has not yet said when this season's Rookie of the Year will be named.
