Reese became the first rookie in league history to record a double-double in an All-Star Game after contributing 12 points and 11 rebounds to Team WNBA.
Clark meanwhile set a new rookie record for All-Star assists by dishing out ten assists to her teammates in the victory.
After their historic nights, the rookies both said they are looking forward to the Olympics break following a busy first half of the year that saw the pair go from the NCAA Tournament rivals to WNBA All-Star teammates.
The next time the Olympics come around, however, Reese and Clark might not have such a relaxing WNBA schedule break. Reese said during the All-Star Game broadcast she hopes she and Clark will be representing Team USA in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
