WNBA fans are so happy to see Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese playing together for Team USA in the 2026 FIBA World Cup qualifying tournament. Clark and Reese helped the United States win its first game of the tournament on Wednesday against Senegal.

Late in the fourth quarter, Clark and Reese were on the floor together to finish the game. Reese was at the free-throw line to shoot two shots, making the first one. She reached out to get daps from her teammates, including the Indiana Fever guard who ran all the way from the other side of the court.

Reese finished the 110-46 win with six points, eight rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes. Clark dropped a double-double in her first competitive game since July, when she re-aggravated a groin injury. She had 17 points and 12 assists in 19 minutes.

WNBA fans were happy to see the chemistry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. While the media has dubbed them rivals on the court, their respective fan bases have made things a little heated. But now that they’re teammates in Team USA, it’s been all love from their supporters.

Here are some of the comments on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Caitlin Clark and Team USA are back in action on Thursday, when they take on host Puerto Rico. It should be noted that the United States has already qualified for the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup. They are using the qualifying tournament to develop chemistry among their young prospects.

Team USA coach comments on Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese senior debut

Six players made their senior debut for Team USA on Wednesday against Senegal: Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, Kiki Iriafen, Monique Billings and Rae Burrell.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Team USA coach Kara Lawson was happy to see the debutants get some action. Clark, Reese and Bueckers are three of the best young players who are tipped to represent the nation for years to come. Even Iriafen could be part of the national team in the long run.

“It’s an exciting day when you get to make your debut for the U.S. Women’s National Team,” Lawson said, according to ESPN. “I thought they played well. I don’t think you would have noticed that it was their debut. I thought they came in and had the appropriate level of respect for the game.”

Burrell and Billings were replacements for Sonia Citron and Aliyah Boston, who had to withdraw due to injuries. Citron and Boston should also be long-term members of Team USA for the next decade or so.
