Angel Reese's mom denies daughter's X post was aimed at Caitlin Clark: 'Of course you're about clicks'

A since-deleted post from Angel Reese was all innocent, her mother says.

The Chicago Sky rookie seemed to reignite her feud with former college basketball rival Caitlin Clark on social media Thursday night.

The Sky handed the New York Liberty their first loss of the season with a 90-81 win. Reese, who was selected by the Sky with the No. 7 overall pick out of LSU, added 13 points and nine rebounds.

However, in celebrating their win, Reese took a thinly veiled shot at the Indiana Fever rookie, as the debate surrounding her impact on the league continues. 

"And that’s on getting a WIN in a packed area not just 'cause of one player on our charter flight," she wrote in a since-deleted post on X. 

It was widely assumed the post was about Clark, and speculation grew when it was deleted. However, Reese’s mother says it was actually directed at the media.

The speculation also led to "racist & vile comments," she said.

"She was not attacking CC but bc you & the rest of those ‘children of the corn’ folks thought she was & once again sending her racist & vile comments she did. Her comment was directed towards the media but of course you’re about clicks," she wrote with a shrugging emoji.

The league’s recent growth is indisputable, but Reese believes it goes beyond just Clark. 

"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 Thursday during a press conference. "It’s a lot of us — me, Kamilla (Cardoso ), there’s Cameron (Brink), Rickea (Jackson). 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."

Clark and the Fever earned their first win on Friday night, thanks to the rookie’s clutch threes down the stretch in front of a star-studded crowd in Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena against the Sparks.

Mobile medical clinics bring health care directly to homeless veterans in 25 cities

More than 35,000 veterans in America are homeless — and health care is not always their top priority. 

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) aims to bridge that gap by bringing medical care to homeless vets.

"The mobile medical unit is a physical truck or van that goes out into the community setting and brings … health care services, those wraparound resources, directly to veterans in the community setting to reduce the barrier of transportation, which is a very significant barrier for this population," Dr. Jillian Weber, national program manager for Homeless Patient Aligned Care Teams in Nevada, told Fox News.

AMERICA'S WAR HEROES BURIED OVERSEAS REMAIN DEFENDERS OF LIBERTY: THEY ‘CONTINUE TO SERVE’

Morgan Spicer, who served in the Air Force before retiring in 1990, is currently staying at the Salvation Army shelter in Las Vegas. 

When he needs to get a checkup at the clinic, Spicer said it's typically been a day-long affair.

"If you have an appointment at the hospital, you have to take the Salvation Army bus up there, you have to go at 7:30 am, and then you either have to take a civilian bus back or wait until 1 in the afternoon until he picks you up," Spicer told Fox News.

But now, the VA's mobile medical team brings the clinic directly to its patients.

"I just had to walk out the front door," Spicer said.

Elizabeth Jarman, a coordinator for VA Southern Nevada Health Care, told Fox News how the initiative works.

"We go out to one of our community shelters or our transitional housing sites, and we are usually there from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.," she said.

"We're able to see veterans all day long, and then drive [the bus] back to the hospital. So, veterans are able to access primary care on it."

Jarman added, "It's everything that you would do in a regular primary care clinic. It's literally a clinic on wheels."

The portable clinics are available in 25 cities across the nation, including Los Angeles, Orlando, Chicago and Seattle.

"We know from evidence that veterans experiencing homelessness have unmet health care needs, and they face numerous barriers and challenges to not only accessing medical services and resources, but also engaging in long-term care," Weber noted.

The mobile units are just one way the VA is trying to fight veteran homelessness — by providing them first with housing and then with health care and other support, according to the team.
