On her new podcast, Unapologetically Angel, Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese opened up about the difficulties that have come with her rise to stardom.

She specifically spoke about being the target of racism and death threats from fans of Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark, though Reese said she knows Clark doesn't condone her fans' behavior.

"I think it's really just the fans, her fans, the Iowa fans, now the Indiana fans, that are like, they ride for her," Reese said (10:30 mark). "And I respect that, respectfully, but sometimes it's very disrespectful. I think there's a lot of racism when it comes to it, and I don't believe she stands on any of that. ... But when it comes to death threats, like I'm talking about people come down to my address, follow me home, it's come down to that."

Reese and Clark have been on-court rivals since before their WNBA days. Reese's LSU beat Clark's Iowa in the 2023 national championship game before Clark and the Hawkeyes beat Reese and the Tigers in the Elite Eight last season.

While that rivalry has made for exciting matchups and debates among fans, it's also led to some fans directing hate toward Reese, and she and Clark are both hoping to put an end to it and keep the focus on basketball.

Amid what has been a difficult time off the court, Reese has still managed to thrive on the court. She's averaging 13.3 points and 13.2 rebounds per game and is likely Clark's only competition for Rookie of the Year.

Reese has also already broken several WNBA records in her rookie season. Last week, she broke WNBA icon Sylvia Fowles' record for rebounds in a season, which was 404. She has already broken the rookie record for double-doubles in a season and is just a few shy of breaking Connecticut Sun's Alyssa Thomas' record of 28 double-doubles in a single season.

Behind an outstanding year from Reese, the Sky are currently in eighth place in the WNBA standings as they attempt to make a playoff push.
