Angel Reese alleges harassment by Caitlin Clark fans: ‘People have come down to
my address’

Rookie of the Year
Caitlin Clark and the Fever are in the WNBA playoffs. Can they make a run to the

It’s been an astonishing rookie season for Clark, who entered the league with
unprecedented hype and attention after a career at lowa that saw her break the

After a rough adjustment period in her first month of the season, Clark has become
one of the most productive players in the entire league and the favorite for WNBA
Rookie of the Year. She isn’t the only rookie making history, though, as rival Angel
Reese has already set the record for most rebounds in a season ….
