ESPN has announced a major change for an upcoming showdown between former college rivals Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark.
The WNBA’s first Chicago Sky-Indiana Fever clash for the new season lived up to the hype and is still being talked about, thanks to a particular foul.
Fortunately, fans won’t have to wait too long for the next game between these two teams, which is set for June 16.
Clark and the Fever have the bragging rights until then, having secured a marginal win last Saturday, beating the Sky 71-70. Reese scored eight points on the day and added 13 rebounds, while Clark recorded 11 points and eight rebounds.
ESPN Will Air Angel Reese-Caitlin Clark Rematch
Of course, fans are expected to flock back for round 2 next weekend, forcing ESPN to make a business decision for the third clash set for June 23.
The game was initially scheduled to air on NBA TV but has been switched to The Worldwide Leader in Sports, according to Fever beat reporter Matthew Byrne. The change will also see the fixture occupy a primetime slot: 4:00 PM EST on a Sunday.
The Fever at Chicago Sky game Sunday June 23 will now be televised by ESPN instead of NBA TV. Also, the tip-time has been changed—from 6 PM to 4 PM ET.

The June 16 clash between the two teams will air on CBS, so ESPN will have to make do. And no one can blame them for wanting to air what could be one of the most dramatic early games of the season.
They could also luck out on added buildup, given the possibility of another dramatic showdown on the 16th that could lead to even more sparks when said teams clash again a week later.
Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller File for Divorce After 1 Year of Marriage

WNBA champion Kelsey Plum and NFL tight end Darren Waller filed for divorce after one year of marriage. In April, the WNBA star and New York Giants tight end filed a joint petition for divorce in Clark County, Nevada.
Just after the filing, Plum shared a heartbreaking message on social media. “I’m devastated. I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.
“God has given me an incredible life, and I’m truly so grateful for the profound love from my family and friends,” the Las Vegas Aces star continued.“One day, I’ll share my story; today is not that day. Thank you for the grace to process my pain, to forgive and move forward. Today and everyday I will continue to choose joy. Much love, KP.”
Waller, a former player for the Las Vegas Raiders, and Plum, a two-time WNBA champion with the Aces, started dating. It is said that they dated for almost a year prior to getting married on March 4, 2023.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal claims that on January 22, 2023, Plum and Waller submitted an application for a marriage license.
Waller was traded to the New York Giants shortly after their marriage. Many believed former head coach Josh McDaniels did this on purpose since he wasn’t invited to the wedding.
