The Fever and Sky will tip off at 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday, Aug. 30, at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. The game will be broadcast nationally on ION and can also be streamed on Fubo, which is currently offering a free trial for new users.
Although Reese and Clark play different positions and serve different roles for the Sky and Fever, Friday’s game is likely to be framed as a showdown between the two. While they don’t have an official rivalry, fans, and the media have fueled this narrative since their college days. They faced each other three times when Reese was at Maryland, but the storyline gained significant attention after the 2023 NCAA national championship game, where Reese’s LSU defeated Clark’s Iowa.
This season, both players have set multiple records and earned spots on the WNBA All-Star team. They were instrumental in Team WNBA’s victory over Team USA, with Reese achieving a double-double of 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Clark contributing ten assists.
