A WNBA All-Star Game practice turned into a friendly competition between the league's top players, including Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark.

Reese and Clark were at the Footprint Center with the rest of the All-Stars to practice a day before their game against Team USA. At the end of practice, Reese and Clark faced off in a half-court shooting competition.

Reese and her teammates went wild when Clark's Indiana Fever teammate, Aliyah Boston, made her attempt.

Reese and Clark are first-time All-Stars. The Fever star said Friday that their appearance was a big moment for women's sports, not just basketball.

“I definitely think it's so much more than just women's basketball. I think if you look at all women's sports, people are really engaged and involved,” Clark said. “Obviously, women's basketball has been at the forefront of everything. And for good reason, as it should be across the board, whether it's women's college basketball or the WNBA. The talent level has been really good.”

Both players have shown their talent and have left their mark on history. Clark set a WNBA record with 19 assists in a game, while Reese set the record for most consecutive double-doubles in a single season.

“I never would have dreamed I'd be playing in the All-Star Game as a rookie,” Reese said.
