Ice Cube Reveals Why Big3 Offered Caitlin Clark and Not Angel Reese originally appeared on Athlon Sports. During Caitlin Clark's final NCAA Tournament run with the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2024, BIG3 co-founder Ice Cube confirmed on social media that he had offered her a $5 million contract to join the league.

But even with Indiana's Clark out with a groin injury, and the Sky's Reese sidelined with a back issue, Chicago managed to again sell out the United Center for last Sunday's game against the Fever, which is the pair's second Chicago-based matchup this season.

Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have been rivals dating back to their time at the college basketball level. Reese, starring at LSU, and Clark, starring at Iowa, twice faced off in the NCAA Tournament. Reese and the Tigers topped Clark and the Hawkeyes in the 2023 national championship game.
