Angel Reese takes a shot at Caitlin Clark before DELETING tweet after Chicago Sky beat New York Liberty

Angel Reese appeared to take a dig at Caitlin Clark in a hastily deleted tweet after Chicago Sky beat New York Liberty 90-81 on Thursday night.

'And that's on getting a WIN in a packed area not just cause of one player on our charter flight. #SKYTOWN,' Reese wrote, with a blowing-a-kiss emoji at the end.

Clark has been credited with the surge of interest in the WNBA after being picked first by Indiana Fever in April - the same event where Reese was picked by Chicago.

The two were also big rivals at college, with Reese playing at LSU while Clark was at Iowa. 

Reese and her Sky team did not have charter flights at the start of the season, but Clark and Iowa did.

Clark and the Fever have lost their first five games of the season. 

And speaking Thursday, Reese hit out at suggestions women's basketball was surging off the back of Clark alone.

'It's not just one person, I think people don't realize that [because] the narrative out there is that just one person changing the game,' she said.

'It's a lot of us. There's so many great players and it's been long overdue and just being able to see that our impact has been able to change the game.

'I love it for us all, and we're just going to continue to keep going.'
