Caitlin Clark Strongly Disagrees With Fever Coach Christie Sides About Angel Reese, Sky Rivalry

Part III of the iconic rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark is slated to take place on Sunday. After all of the drama that took place when Reese received a flagrant foul for her hit on Clark’s head last week, this rematch is already grabbing a ton of attention.  Yet, when it comes to the rivalry between the Indiana fever and the Chicago Sky, Clark has a different opinion than her head coach Christie Sides.

When Clark was asked about tomorrow’s game against the Sky during a postgame press conference, she said, “I’m pretty sure the only people that view this as a rivalry is all of [the media].”  “For us, it’s just a game of basketball,” Clark continued.

Caitlin Clark asked about Sunday being a rivalry game vs Chicago:

“I’m pretty sure the only people that view this as a rivalry is all of you (media). For us, it’s just a game of basketball. That’s what it is. If it’s gonna help move the game forward, absolutely…”

But when Clark’s head coach was asked about the rivalry between Indiana and Chicago last week, she said, “Well, I spent my first six years in Chicago, and this was a huge rivalry.”  “So it’s been one for quite some time,” Sides added. “Definitely a good rivalry.”

Clearly Sides thinks more of this rivalry than Clark does.  Fever fans must be hoping that Sides and Clark are going be more on the same page tomorrow.
