A’ja Wilson Fires Back at Angel Reese Over Caitlin Clark’s Comments in Deleted X Post
The ongoing debate surrounding Caitlin Clark’s recent comments has taken another sharp turn, with WNBA superstar A’ja Wilson reportedly addressing Angel Reese in a now-deleted post on X. The post came after Reese faced backlash for her response to Clark’s acknowledgment of white privilege and her historic Time Magazine Athlete of the Year recognition.
In her deleted message, Wilson appeared to criticize Reese for adding unnecessary fuel to an already heated discussion. Without directly naming Reese, Wilson wrote, “Sometimes it’s better to uplift the game instead of tearing others down. We all have a role in growing this league.” Though brief, the message sparked immediate speculation, with fans interpreting it as a subtle dig at Reese’s recent remarks.
Wilson, a two-time WNBA MVP and vocal advocate for unity in women’s basketball, has often emphasized the importance of collective growth over individual rivalries. Her post hinted at frustration over how internal conflicts are playing out publicly, potentially overshadowing the strides players like Clark, Reese, and others have made in elevating the WNBA’s visibility.
Reese has not publicly responded to Wilson’s deleted post, but social media has been ablaze with reactions from fans and analysts dissecting every word. Some praised Wilson for her mature stance, while others felt her comment could have been handled privately rather than on a public platform.
As tensions simmer, the focus remains on how these public exchanges will affect team dynamics and the WNBA’s broader image. With both Wilson and Reese being central figures in the league, fans are left wondering if this will mark the end of the controversy or merely the beginning of another chapter.
