The history between the two dates back to last year's national college championship and they have developed a rivalry that is unmissable.
Clark recently dismissed the idea that there's a rivalry between the two, but make no mistake: the drama the two have been through over the past 15 months is a story that tells.
Clark knows this too, but says there are more important things to focus on.
“I don't think I've ever been her teammate before, not even in USA Basketball or anything like that,” Clark said. He said on Tuesday night“I know people are going to be really excited, but I hope it doesn't take away from anyone else. This is a huge accomplishment for everyone on Team USA and in the WNBA. They all deserve the same praise.

“I don't want this to take away from any of that and make it the center of attention of All-Star weekend because it's not fair to them. And obviously, that's something that's very hard to do. The best thing we can celebrate is all of them being great, and obviously I'm going to enjoy the experience because you never know if you'll be able to be there again someday. It'll be fun for all of us, for sure.”
Clark is averaging 16 points and 7.1 assists per game, both tops among WNBA rookies, and ranks third in the league in assists. Reese recently set the league record for most consecutive games with a double-double (10). Reese leads the WNBA with 11.8 rebounds per game and is one of four players averaging a double-double this season.
It all started with the 2023 national championship, when Reese, then with LSU, attacked Clark, then an Iowa Hawkeye, with a “you can’t see me” taunt and pointed at his ring finger.

Clark and Iowa got their revenge during the last March Madness tournament, and Clark is 2-1 against Reese in their WNBA careers. Now, the two will share a locker room, a bench and, likely, a court. Their last two matchups are the two most-watched WNBA games in more than 20 years.
Clark and Reese were the only two rookies named All-Stars. They will face the U.S. Olympic team. Clark was left off the Olympic team, sparking a heated debate.
