Angel Reese Dealt 'Brutal Truth' In Rivalry With Caitlin Clark
Angel Reese Dealt 'Brutal Truth' In Rivalry With Caitlin Clark originally appeared on The Spun. Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have been rivals dating back to their time at the college basketball level. Reese, starring at LSU, and Clark, starring at Iowa, twice faced off in the NCAA Tournament. Reese and the Tigers topped Clark and the Hawkeyes in the 2023 national championship game. Clark and the Hawkeyes got revenge in the Elite Eight in 2024. The two have since become two of the biggest stars in the WNBA, with Reese starring for the Chicago Sky and Clark starring for the Indiana Fever. While Clark has been getting a lot of credit for the WNBA's growth, Reese has made it clear that she believes she deserves a lot of credit, too. "People are talking about women's basketball, you never would think they'd be talking about women's basketball," Reese said in 2024. "People are pulling up to games. We got celebrities coming to games and sold-out arenas just because of one single game. Just looking at that, I'll take that role. I'll take the bad guy role, and I'll continue to take that on and be that for my teammates. I know I'll go down in history. I'll look back in 20 years and be like, the reason why we're watching women's basketball is not just because of one person. It's because of me, too. I want y'all to realize that." But while that might be true to an extent, Ice Cube recently made it clear that when it comes to people being interested in Clark or Reese, there's not much of a debate. Ice Cube, who offered Caitlin Clark $5 million to play in his BIG3 League, admitted that when he spoke to investors and advertisers, there wasn't much of a debate between Clark and Reese. The league's sponsors suggested that Clark, not Reese, would make the biggest impact. While an offer was made to Clark, no such offer was made to Reese. 'They didn't tell us the same thing about Angel Reese,' Cube informed TMZ Sports. 'I don't know if we can make that same offer.' Ice Cube added the door has probably been closed on Clark. Meanwhile, it never seemed to open for Reese.

Tour de France favourite Vollering to undergo concussion test ahead of stage 4
Demi Vollering, one of the favourites for the 2025 women's Tour de France, will undergo medical tests on Tuesday to decide whether she will continue in this year's race following a fall towards the end of stage three on Monday. The 28-year-old Dutchwoman went down with several other riders less than four kilometres from the end of the course between La Gacilly to Angers. The FDJ-SUEZ cyclist was delayed by the late crash but was able to remount and complete the stage. She was given the same finishing time as her main rivals as the crash came within a 5km perimeter of the finish line. Examinations carried out by her team's doctor on Monday night revealed that Vollering had suffered multiple contusions. She also underwent an initial assessment for a suspected concussion, said a statement from FDJ-SUEZ. Decision "The team's medical staff, Demi Vollering and FDJ-SUEZ management jointly decided not to go to the hospital given the non-urgent nature of her medical condition," the statement added. "Further tests, including a second concussion protocol, will be carried out on Tuesday morning to rule out any suspicion. "These results will enable Demi and the team to confirm whether or not she will be at the start line for stage 4. Vollering won the 2023 race but was pipped to the 2024 title by Katarzyna Niewiadoma. If she were to be passed fit, Vollering will start the stage 19 seconds behind the overall race leader Marianne Vos. Vollering's compatriot, Lorena Wiebes, claimed the third stage. The 26-year-old completed the 163.5km course in three hours, 41 minutes and 47 seconds. She will start Tuesday's 130.7km fourth stage between Saumur and Poitiers sporting the green jersey of the rider with the most points. She boasts an 18 point lead over Vos. "I now have the green jersey on my shoulders and we'll take it day by day," said Wiebes. "Tuesday is basically another sprint stage, so that offers new opportunities."
