Angel Reese’s First Post After Losing AP Rookie of the Year to Caitlin Clark Says It All

It’s official. Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is the Associated Press Rookie of the Year for 2024. The announcement was made on Sunday afternoon.  The 22-year-old was the unanimous choice for the coveted title.

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese, who was widely considered the biggest threat to Clark’s Rookie of the Year claim, took to X (formerly Twitter) not long after Clark’s win was announced.  Reese’s post had nothing to do with the Rookie of the Year race — at least not on the surface — but the Sky star sent a very clear message about her current state.

woke up again a very blessed girl. a very happy girl. 😇🙏🏽

“Woke up again a very blessed girl. a very happy girl. 😇🙏🏽” Reese wrote.

It appears Reese remains unbothered by this recent development. The former LSU superstar is counting her blessings as she continues to be thankful for being in the position she is right now — regardless of how the AP Rookie of the Year vote turned out.

It is worth noting that the Rookie of the Year honor announced on Sunday was handed out by the Associated Press, which it does annually.  The WNBA has not yet named its official winner, but it appears it’s only a matter of time before Clark also received that title.  The league’s 2024 MVP voting has been released, however, and Clark finished No. 4 overall. Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson took home her third MVP award in unanimous fashion after receiving all 67 first-place votes.
