Magic Johnson tells TMZ Sports he’s loving what he’s seeing from Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese so far in the WNBA … praising the rookies for how they’re transitioning to the pros.
We spoke briefly with the NBA legend out in L.A. this week as he was getting hounded by autograph seekers … and he made it clear, he’s a big fan of the W’s newest stars.
He said emphatically they’re “doing great things” — helping their league explode in popularity.
As for how they’ve handled some of the unwanted attention they’ve been getting — if you missed it, Clark was bodychecked by Chennedy Carter in a game earlier this month, while Reese was slammed to the ground by Alyssa Thomas in another — he appreciated the way they’ve battled through it all.
When it came time to dole out some advice … Magic — who played his entire 13-year NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers — said it’s pretty simple … keep doin’ what you’re doin’ and everything will work itself out.
“They’re doing great things for the league,” the five-time NBA champ said with a thumbs up. “Caitlin’s been great. Angel’s been great.”
