“Angel Reese’s Bizarre TikTok Sparks Backlash — Was This a Direct Shot at Caitlin Clark?”

Angel Reese has once again found herself at the center of controversy — this time for a TikTok that fans are calling “bizarre,” “unnecessary,” and potentially targeted at rival Caitlin Clark. The video, which shows Reese mimicking a popular audio track with exaggerated eye-rolls and a caption that reads “Guess who’s NOT getting the ball next time? 👀💅”, has stirred up a social media firestorm.

The timing couldn’t be more suspicious. Just days before, reports circulated that Reese was upset about being benched during a critical moment in a Chicago Sky practice drill — allegedly after a disagreement over offensive roles. Simultaneously, Caitlin Clark was being praised nationally for her shooting efficiency and on-court leadership.

The TikTok, then, seemed like more than just a coincidence.

Fans immediately began speculating:

“Is she talking about Caitlin taking over the spotlight?”
“This feels so targeted… and childish.”
“If you’re mad, just say that instead of posting cryptic TikToks.”

Even WNBA analyst LaChina Robinson weighed in, tweeting, “It’s one thing to be confident. It’s another to let insecurities become content.”

Reese, who has long walked the line between confidence and controversy, has yet to address the criticism directly. But she did repost the video to her Instagram story with the caption: “Y’all pressed and I LOVE it 😘.”

This isn’t the first time Reese’s social media activity has made headlines. From her reactions to NCAA controversies to her unfiltered comments about double standards in women’s basketball, she’s become a lightning rod in the sports world — admired by some, misunderstood by others.

The biggest question fans are now asking: is this escalating personal? Or is Reese simply marketing herself in an increasingly attention-driven league?

Caitlin Clark, meanwhile, has remained silent — choosing to focus on her game, her team, and her growing fanbase. But insiders close to the Fever say she’s “aware of the video” and “not surprised.” One source told ESPN, “This kind of energy doesn’t faze her. She’s focused on winning.”

What’s clear is that the WNBA is no longer just about stats and scores. Personality, branding, and media moments are becoming just as vital — and Angel Reese knows how to stir the pot.

As fans eagerly await the next showdown between Reese and Clark, one thing’s for sure: drama like this is turning casual viewers into die-hard followers — whether they’re watching for the basketball or the beef.
