The official reveal of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese in NBA 2K has taken the internet by storm, with social media abuzz following the release of the game’s WNBA character settings ahead of its September launch. This marks the first time both Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese are featured as WNBA players in the popular video game series, and fans are thrilled with how accurately the graphics capture their likenesses.
WNBA enthusiasts flooded the comment sections with excitement and humor, reacting to the first look at these rising stars in the virtual world.
One fan eagerly commented, “I’m running that Steph vs CC 1 vs 1 IMMEDIATELY!” Another fan added, “Caitlin better be 90+,” reflecting the high expectations for Clark’s in-game rating. A playful suggestion came from another commenter: “Hopefully they have Caitlin Clark’s State Fair butter statue as a secret player you can unlock.”
Despite being rookies, Clark and Reese have quickly become two of the most talked-about names in the WNBA, both on and off the court. They are strong contenders for the league’s Rookie of the Year award, with Reese averaging 13.5 points and 11.9 rebounds per game, and Clark posting 17.1 points and 8.2 assists per game.
While fans are excited about their digital counterparts, the real focus for Clark and Reese remains on guiding their teams to the WNBA playoffs. Indiana Fever currently hold the No. 7 spot in the standings with an 11-15 record, while the Chicago Sky are right behind them at No. 8 with a 10-14 record.
Both teams are set to face the Phoenix Mercury as they return to action following the WNBA break for the Paris Olympics. Angel Reese and the Sky will host the Mercury on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, while Caitlin Clark’s Fever will take on Phoenix on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
As the season heats up, the excitement surrounding Clark and Reese is only growing, both in real life and in the world of NBA 2K.
