Angel Reese Makes Clear Declaration Before Playing Caitlin Clark
The 2025 WNBA season begins on Friday, with the highly-anticipated matchup between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever taking place on Saturday. These two Eastern Conference rivals will face off five times this year, building on what was an exciting season series in 2024. Indiana took three of four from Chicago last season, with rookie guard Caitlin Clark leading the way. In addition to her unprecedented season averages of 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists, Clark averaged 20.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 10.0 assists in four games against Chicago (via WNBA).

Reese infamously mocked Clark with the "you can't see me" gesture, sparking weeks of national coverage. Ahead of Saturday's rematch, Reese declared that "Set It Off" by Boosie is Chicago's song of the summer. After LSU defeated Virginia Tech in the 2023 National Semifinal, a locker room video surfaced of the team celebrating with "Set It Off" playing in the background. Boosie, who is from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is a well-known fan of LSU. Advertisement Former Tigers guard Flau'jae Johnson uploaded the aforementioned locker room video on social media. With "Set It Off" serving as LSU's anthem prior to defeating Clark and the Hawkeyes in 2023, perhaps it can again set the vibe for Reese and her teammates as Chicago attempts to start 1-0 with a victory over Indiana on Saturday. The two teams will tip-off at 3:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
