Angel Reese made a spectacular entrance in her Chicago Sky game against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on Saturday morning.
Reese was photographed wearing a gray dress with a torn hood, a silver purse and sunglasses, as she arrived at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
She needed someone to hold her phone before posing for photos, and then joked about taking off her heels in the locker room, saying upon arrival, “Let me take off these shoes; a bad guy can’t stay that bad for long!”
Reese, 22, soon traded in her heels for sneakers while on the court warming up for the game.
Meanwhile, Clark posed for photos in a blue jumpsuit as he headed to the court looking to lead his team to its second consecutive victory of the season.
I can’t even face Angel Reese, we feel that ��
Even Barbie has a time limit on how long she can wear heels, but as usual, the game day look will do. pic.twitter.com/QikVVwulgX

Reese soon changed clothes and headed to the court for his warm-up.
Reese and Clark have taken interest in the WNBA to a new level since the draft earlier this year.
Clark was picked first by the Fever, while Reese was the seventh pick and was chosen by Chicago.
Speaking before the game, Reese paid glowing tribute to her coach Teresa Weatherspoon.
“She’s like a mother to me, having a coach who played and now coaches, I love her so much,” Reese said. ‘I have always had incredible coaches and I am very lucky.
‘I feel like she understands me a lot. I can be hard on myself, I need to give myself grace and she trusts me.’
Speaking of her rivalry with Clark, Reese said, “All the rookies have done a great job to rise up and get to the next level, especially Caitlin. All the women deserve this and to be in the moment, I’m going to enjoy it.”
Clark and Reese were great rivals at the college level: Clark was a star at Iowa, while Reese shined at LSU.
Sky comes into the game 3-3 for the season, while Clark and Fever have found things tough with a 1-8 record.
Reese and the Chicago Sky come into the game with a 3-3 record, better than Clark and Indiana.
Clark made sure to have time to sign autographs for the Fever fans who arrived early.
Chicago won its last game, beating the Los Angeles Sparks 83-73 on Thursday night.
Indiana was defeated 103-88 by the Seattle Storm in its last game, also on Thursday, with Clark scoring 20 points in 40 minutes on the court.
In a 2023 game between LSU and Iowa, Reese performed WWE legend John Cena’s ‘You Can’t See Me’ gesture in front of Clark, which the latter made famous earlier in a game against Louisville.
The Tigers star also looked at his college rival and pointed at his ring finger at the end of the fourth quarter.
And last week, Reese appeared to attack Clark after the Sky beat the New York Liberty in the Big Apple.
After the 90-81 win last Thursday night, Reese wrote on #SKYTOWN,” she wrote, with a kiss emoji at the end.
Reese and his Sky team did not have charter flights at the beginning of the season, but Clark and Indiana did. Reese’s mother later said the deleted tweet was directed at the media, not Clark.
