Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese's mother has denied that her daughter took a shot at former college rival Caitlin Clark on social media, saying the post was actually directed at the media.

The since-deleted post from Reese subtly referenced Clark, who has been the subject of much debate surrounding her impact on the WNBA.

"And that’s on getting a WIN in a packed area not just 'cause of one player on our charter flight," Reese wrote.

It was widely assumed the post was about Clark, and speculation grew when it was deleted. However, Reese’s mother says it was actually directed at the media.

"She was not attacking CC but bc you & the rest of those ‘children of the corn’ folks thought she was & once again sending her racist & vile comments she did. Her comment was directed towards the media but of course you’re about clicks," she wrote with a shrugging emoji.

The speculation also led to "racist & vile comments," she said.

The league’s recent growth is indisputable, but Reese believes it goes beyond just Clark.

"It’s not just one person, I think people don’t realize that (because) the narrative out there is that just one person changing the game," she said Thursday during a press conference. "It’s a lot of us — me, Kamilla (Cardoso ), there’s Cameron (Brink), Rickea (Jackson). There’s so many great players and it’s been long overdue and just being able to see that our impact has been able to change the game."

Clark and the Fever earned their first win on Friday night, thanks to the rookie’s clutch threes down the stretch in front of a star-studded crowd in Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena against the Sparks.

The feud between Reese and Clark dates back to their college days, when they were both stars at rival schools. Reese played for LSU, while Clark played for Iowa.

The two players have often exchanged barbs on social media, and their rivalry has been a source of fascination for fans.

However, Reese’s mother says that the feud is not as serious as it seems, and that the two players actually have a lot of respect for each other.

"They’re both just young and passionate about the game," she said. "They’re both competitors, and they both want to win. But they also know that they’re both talented players, and they respect each other’s game."

It remains to be seen whether Reese and Clark will continue to feud in the WNBA. But for now, it seems that the rivalry is more about fun and competition than anything else.
