Angel Reese just kicked off the second season of her WNBA career, but the Chicago Sky's All-Star forward has already found herself at the center of drama. The incident between her and Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark during their matchup turned heads last weekend. Now, Outkick founder Clay Travis has challenged her to a game of one-on-one for $100,000.
Travis stands at 6-foot and weighs just 185 pounds. Angel Reese is three inches taller and 20 pounds lighter than the sports media personality. Travis has grown a following talking about sports and politics, founding Outkick, a multimedia network that produces content covering a variety of topics. He is one of the faces of the company, but his latest take has fans surprised.

Travis had a lot to say about what happened between Angel Reese and Clark when the two went at it on during their season opener. Now, the media personality wants to take Reese on himself, and the 46-year-old provided an explanation behind why he could win.
Late Thursday night, Travis extended the official challenge out to Angel Reese, saying that he is willing to put forth $100,000 in the game, which is more that what the Sky forward is paid per season on her rookie deal.
@Reese10Angel
me vs you half court to 15 by 1’s and 2’s. $100k to the winner, more than you make in an entire WNBA season. Rebounds taken back to three point line. We put the game on pay per view and raise millions for charity of winner’s choice. You in?
Travis then doubled down on his challenge, saying that his son and his middle school basketball team would help prepare him for the showdown.
Reese hasn't responded to Travis' jabs, but the All-Star forward is receiving her fair share of media attention this season, for better or worse. She made headlines last season with her comments about Clark's personality, but refused to comment on them before or after her game against the Fever.
So far this season, Reese is picking up right where she left off in 2024. The Sky's leader is averaging 7 points and 14.5 rebounds per game so far this season. However, she continues to fuel arguments amongst big name fans who are upset with her.
Dave Portnoy called Angel Reese out during the Sky-Fever matchup
Millions of people watched the Sky's opening game of the season against the Fever. Every game between Clark and Angel Reese has become must-watch TV since the two battled for the NCAA National Championship in 2023. During the game, Clark fouled Reese hard as the Sky forward went up for a layup after securing an offensive rebound.
Clark was given a flagrant foul on the play, which angered WNBA fans all over the country. They took to social media to voice their distaste, including Barstool Sports president Dave Portnoy.
Portnoy continued to complain about the call during the game, calling out the officials for handling the situation the wrong way.
With Travis' challenge awaiting an answer, Reese remains in the spotlight as fans throw shade at her as a player. However, her teammates have rallied behind her as she steps into a leadership role for Chicago, which is eyeing a return to the postseason in 2025.
