They had a ball.

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese hit the same club while celebrating being drafted into the WNBA — just weeks after facing off against each other in a record-setting March Madness matchup.

The newly anointed pro-ballers both partied at Tao nightclub in New York City on Sunday night where they partied at separate tables, a source exclusively tells Page Six.

We’re told Clark, the 2024 No. 1 draft pick, joined Los Angeles Sparks rookie Cam Brinks’ table while Reese, the seventh pick in the draft, was on the “opposite side” of the club.

Reese, wearing a blue top and matching skirt, appeared to be in high spirits as she grabbed the mic and sang along to the music from the DJ booth.

We’re told she was living it up in her section with her family and old LSU Tigers teammates and the group enjoyed Casamigos Reposado.

Meanwhile, we hear Clark was having the best time and “smiling a lot” — though she seemed relatively “reserved.”

Also spotted at Brinks’ table was Las Vegas Acres’ Elizabeth Kitley, who was on crutches after an injury, as well as New York Liberty’s Jessica Carter, and UConn Huskies player Paige Bueckers.

We hear the Iowa Hawkeyes alum enjoyed herself for a bit before pivoting to a private party in her honor at Fleur Room in Chelsea.

A video on social media showed Clark joined by her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, at the celebratory bash.

Clark also posted a photo cozying up to McCaffrey at the fête on her Instagram Story.

Earlier in the day, Clark was selected to play for the Indiana Fever while Reese earned her jersey with the Chicago Sky.

Clark attended the draft in head-to-toe Prada — becoming the first athlete in the WNBA or NBA to be dressed by the Italian fashion house.

Meanwhile, Reese attended the event in a plunging hooded sparkly gown by Bronx and Banco dress ($1,450) and accessorized with a custom diamond grill.

Clark and Reese famously shattered ESPN viewership records when they played against each other in their March Madness Elite Eight matchup game earlier this month.

The broadcast, which peaked at 16 million viewers, was also the most-watched college basketball game ever on ESPN platforms.

Clark’s Hawkeyes came out ahead against Reese’s Tigers in a 94-87 win.

The two athletes previously sparked feud rumors after they had a tense encounter on the courts during last year’s NCAA women’s final match.

However, Reese insisted in March that there was “no rivalry” between them.

“Me and Caitlin Clark don’t hate each other. I want everybody to understand that. It’s just a super-competitive game,” she had said.

“once I get between those lines, there’s no friends. I’m going to talk trash to you. I’m going to do whatever it takes to get in your head the whole entire game, but after the game, we can kick it. I don’t think people really realize that.”

Clark ended her college basketball career coming up short in the 2024 NCAA national championship game against the South Carolina Gamecocks.
