Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese continues to sell.
According to USA Today, ticket prices for the rookies’ third WNBA matchup — set for Sunday in Chicago — are the highest in WNBA history, averaging $271 on TickPick.
Moreover, the cheapest ticket listed on the platform is for $200.
The former college superstars turned first-round picks last squared off on June 18 — a game which drew 2.252 million viewers, per CBS Sports — making it the most-watched WNBA game since 2001.
Part of the attention was derived from a flagrant foul that Reese committed against Clark.
When the two teams first played this year on June 1, more headlines were generated when Clark was body-slammed by Sky guard Chennedy Carter.
Carter later doubled down on her actions, undermining Clark by writing “beside three point shooting what does she bring to the table man 😂” on Instagram Threads after the game.
The Fever and Sky have both scuffled despite adding stars, with the two teams sitting in eighth and ninth in the 12-team league.
On Thursday, Reese made WNBA history by notching her seventh straight double-double, becoming the first rookie in league history to accomplish the feat.
The former LSU forward is averaging 12.4 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game in 14 contests, ranking second in the league in rebounding.
Meanwhile, Clark — the two-time National Player of the Year — hasn’t skipped a beat in the pros.
The Iowa stalwart is averaging 16.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game on 39 percent shooting.
Betting markets view Clark as a favorable candidate to win the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year Award, proliferating her astonishing trophy collection.
In the early stages of their WNBA careers, Clark has gotten the better of Reese, with the Fever edging the Sky in each of the two games between the teams this season.
Dating back to their high-profile college games, Clark has gone 3-1 against Reese.
To cap off their college careers, Clark’s No. 2-seeded Hawkeyes beat the No. 8-seeded Tigers, 94-87, to reach the Final Four before ultimately falling in the national championship against South Carolina.
However, in 2023, Reese and LSU prevailed over Iowa 102-85 in the title game.
With her tremendous mixture of shooting and superhuman passing, Clark has regularly drawn staggering audiences.
College basketball’s all-time scoring leader played in four of the six most-watched women’s NCAA Tournament games ever, according to Forbes.
