Angel Reese voices her desire to link up with Caitlin Clark in 2028 Olympics: "Hopefully in 4 years, we can be in the Olympics together"

Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark put their rivalry aside at the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game when they teamed up as part of Team WNBA. They played together for a few minutes, sharing a glimpse of what could have been if they were selected as part of Team USA.

In an interview with the broadcast team during the game, Reese shared her first All-Star experience on and off the court. She was also asked about playing with Clark, expressing her desire for a future team-up in four years at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

"It's all cool. When she gets the ball, I'm running to look for the ball because she's gonna throw it. She's been great to play with. I mean, the future, we're gonna be playing together a lot. Hopefully, in 4 years, we can be in the Olympics together. I'm excited," Reese said.

Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese among Team USA snubs

When Team USA revealed the rosters for the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics, there was outrage from the fanbase due to Caitlin Clark's snub. Many analysts were baffled by the decision since she's the biggest star in women's basketball at the moment and including her in the Olympic team would have expanded the game.

Some even thought that Angel Reese should have also been part of Team USA since she's also a great ambassador for the WNBA. Clark and Reese are just rookies but have made a huge impact on the sport already. Their rivalry even makes them marketable since both have their own fanbase.

Another snub was Arike Ogunbowale of the Dallas Wings, although she clarified that she voluntarily removed her name from the selection before the roster was announced. Dearica Hamby is another player who could have made the team based on her performances this season.

It was only a matter of time. Great narratives, great storylines, and now, the bottom line comes down to one thing: It's about basketball. It's about winning," Miller said in a press conference a day before the All-Star Game.

The Hall of Famer added.

"Both these young ladies and their teams, people don't want to face them down the stretch. Because now it's starting to click. It's clicking in Chicago and it's starting to click in Indiana."
