Angel Reese’s New Sky Teammate Hailey Van Lith Elects to Cut Caitlin Clark in Start-Bench-Cut Game
In a moment that is making waves across the basketball world, Hailey Van Lith, the newest addition to the Chicago Sky, has shocked fans by cutting Caitlin Clark in a playful yet dramatic start-bench-cut game.
The game, typically a fun and lighthearted way to engage with teammates, quickly took a turn when Van Lith was forced to make a tough decision: choosing who would be cut from the game. Despite Clark’s undeniable talent, Van Lith surprised everyone by choosing to eliminate her fellow superstar.
“It was all in good fun, but you know, sometimes you have to make those tough calls,” Van Lith said after the game. “It’s a game, but it’s also a reflection of how competitive this team is going to be.”
Caitlin Clark, widely regarded as one of the best players in women’s basketball today, took the cut in stride, laughing off the decision. “It’s all part of the game,” she said. “I’m just here to get better and have fun with my teammates.”
Fans, however, were not as forgiving. The internet exploded with mixed reactions, with many praising Van Lith for making the bold decision and others questioning the implications of the move. With both players being fierce competitors, the moment seemed to signal the intensity that will come with their combined forces on the court.
Angel Reese, another highly anticipated teammate of Van Lith on the Sky, had a front-row seat to the drama and chimed in with her own thoughts: “Hailey knows how to make waves, and it’s clear we’re going to have a very interesting dynamic this season. Caitlin and Hailey are both going to push each other to new heights.”
The Chicago Sky’s season is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated in recent years, especially with the addition of such high-caliber players. If this game is any indication, fans can expect a lot of fierce competition and fiery chemistry between these three stars.
As for the ongoing rivalry? “This is just the beginning,” says Van Lith, grinning. “The real competition starts now.”
