Caitlin Clark is having a strong start to her WNBA career with the Indiana Fever. Clark is set to continue her season against one of the most iconic players in league history.
The Fever are taking on the Phoenix Mercury and Diana Taurasi on Sunday afternoon, and Clark sounded off on her anticipated meeting with the all-time great.
When asked if facing off against Taurasi brought extra excitement to Clark, she gave an insightful response.
“Yeah for sure. That’s someone I grew up idolizing, looking up to, and wanting to be like someday,” Clark said, via Desert Wave Media. “Obviously, she’s one of the greatest players our game has ever seen, the greatest scorer our game has ever seen. So for me, I’m excited. That’s fun. It’s almost like a dream come true. You get to live out your dream while playing against the best there ever has been. So it’s fun for me for sure.”

“Indiana is a super talented young team, they are going to come in here and play well,” Taurasi said. “The beauty about being young is you don’t know any better. You can play carefree, just go into buildings and let if fly.”
Caitlin Clark and her team will surely let it fly on Sunday afternoon. The Fever have won six of their last 10 games but have lost two in a row. With a 7-12 record, they are one spot below the Chicago Sky for the fifth-place seed in the WNBA playoff picture. The Fever know their Mercury matchup will not be easy, but they look to use their strengths to come away with a win.
