Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark are set to join forces for the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game, and the Chicago Sky rookie would like to see it happen again at the Summer Olympics in four years’ time.
“We’re gonna be playing together for a while, so this is not gonna be the first time,” Reese said Wednesday on NBA Today. “I know we’ll be All-Stars again. Hopefully 2028, we’ll be Olympians together, too.”
Clark missed the cut for the 2024 Summer Olympics despite her illustrious college career at Iowa. She’s still only in her first year in the WNBA, and the Hawkeyes’ Final Four run meant she was unable to attend the United States’ training camp in April.
Through 22 games, the Indiana Fever guard is averaging 16.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.4 assists while shooting 39.3 percent from the field. Assuming her production continues to improve as she gains more experience, she should firmly be in the Team USA fold for the 2028 Summer Games.
The same could easily be said for Reese with how quickly she has hit the ground running. The 6’3″ forward is averaging 14.1 points and 11.9 rebounds and already owns a WNBA for the most consecutive games with a double-double (14 and counting).
The 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles will be the first time the United States has hosted the quadrennial extravaganza since 1996.
The Atlanta Games were effectively the genesis of the WNBA as Team USA helped to show there was an audience for women’s basketball. The league will be in a far different place in four years, much less from where it was when it launched in 1997. But imagine what kind of attention Clark and Reese would help draw if they were to win gold on home soil.
