Angel Reese is taking a new approach to answering questions about Caitlin Clark as they begin their second WNBA seasons.<\/p>\n
Last June, the Chicago Sky star made a statement asserting she deserves some of the credit<\/a> Clark is receiving for growing women\u2019s basketball.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll look back in 20 years and be like, the reason why we\u2019re watching women\u2019s basketball is not just because of one person. It\u2019s because of me, too. I want ya\u2019ll to realize that.\u201d \u2013 Angel Reese<\/p>\n (via @GNSportsTV<\/a>) pic.twitter.com\/dfn2LiuMrY<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) June 4, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll look back in 20 years and be like, the reason why we\u2019re watching women\u2019s basketball is not just because of one person,\u201d Reese said. \u201cIt\u2019s because of me, too. I want ya\u2019ll to realize that.\u201d<\/p>\n This week, a reporter attempted to ask whether that statement still holds true one year later. Reese, however, abruptly shut the question down with a two-word answer.<\/p>\n \u201cNext question,\u201d Reese said.<\/p>\n A Chicago Sky official also chimed in to similarly shut down the question, saying, \u201cYeah, we\u2019ll move on. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n A reporter asked Angel Reese if she wanted to expand on her bold statement from last year \u2014 that fans don\u2019t just watch women\u2019s basketball for one player, but they watch because of her too.<\/p>\n Angel\u2019s response? \u201cNext question.\u201d<\/p>\n (via Chicago Sky) pic.twitter.com\/xo07XIbeHN<\/a><\/p>\n
