The jealousy and bitter feelings towards Caitlin Clark, at least among her peers, couldn’t be anymore evident now.
Many fans and pundits like to accuse Caitlin Clark’s rival, Chicago Sky standout Angel Reese, of being jealous of the Indiana Fever All-Star. But if you think it’s mostly Reese, you couldn’t be more wrong.
For those unfamiliar, the fans, media panel and WNBA players all have a say in the All-Star game rosters. Fans account for 50 percent of the vote, with the WNBA players and media each getting 25 percent.
As reported by Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles, Clark alone got 1.293 million All-Star game votes. Now, about that whole “Clark’s peers are jealous and bitter” thing we were just talking about…

They HATE her 😭 pic.twitter.com/4zKu4S0b0I
Considering that Clark was a 2024 All-WNBA First Team selection and is having another strong start to 2025 (18.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 8.9 assists per game), it’s impossible to comprehend the players ranking her as the ninth-best guard.
But as her track record suggests the 23-year-old Clark will just continue to use the hate and bitterness as motivation.
Caitlin Clark Has Missed Seven Games In 2025
Unfortunately, WNBA fans haven’t been able to see Caitlin Clark at 100 percent lately. She missed five games earlier this year with a quad injury and has missed Indiana’s last two games with a groin issue.
As all fans know, the WNBA ratings dropped significantly during Clark’s initial five-game absence. Even if her opponents hold angry and jealous feelings, they can’t deny that Clark’s arrival has been a blessing for the WNBA.
