What to watch in Saturday's game?
Despite facing off only a few times in college, Clark and Reese developed a notable rivalry. They clashed in consecutive NCAA Tournaments, each winning one matchup. Reese led LSU to a 102-85 victory over Iowa in the 2023 national championship, posting 15 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, three steals, and a block. The following year, Clark bested Reese in the Elite Eight, delivering a stunning performance with 41 points, 12 assists, and seven rebounds.
This Saturday marks their first WNBA encounter as Chicago faces Indiana, the first of four meetings this season.
Another significant storyline for Saturday is the potential return of Kamilla Cardoso. The No. 3 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft has been out with a shoulder injury sustained in Chicago's preseason opener against the Minnesota Lynx and hasn't yet played a regular-season game. Cardoso, fresh off a perfect 38-0 season and a national title with South Carolina, averaged 14.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per game in her final year with the Gamecocks.
Cardoso's return could bolster Chicago's roster significantly, creating a formidable post duo with Reese. Saturday's game might offer a glimpse of this promising tandem's potential impact in the WNBA.
