Diana Taurasi and Caitlin Clark are two of the most recognizable names in the WNBA, but their is a budding rivalry between the longtime Mercury guard and the star rookie.
The on-court rivalry between Caitlin Clark and three-time WNBA champion Diana Taurasi does not appear to be cooling off anytime soon. The Phoenix Mercury's social media team jumped into the fray this weekend when a video, which appeared to troll Clark, surfaced on the team's verified TikTok account. 'I miss the WNBA. Caitlin, where are you?' a fan sitting on a couch says at the beginning of the video.
Team USA defeated France, 67-66, in the gold medal game on Aug. 11. The American women have now won eight consecutive Olympic gold medals. The fan's commentary in the TikTok video was immediately followed by a brief Taurasi-inspired highlight reel. The longtime Mercury guard is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in WNBA history. Meanwhile, Clark has helped bring an unprecedented amount of attention to women's basketball.
Nevertheless, Taurasi and Clark also share some similarities. Taurasi is the WNBA's career scoring leader, while no one scored more points at the NCAA Division I level than Clark. Both point guards are also strong 3-point shooters. The Chicago Sky host Taurasi and the Mercury on Thursday night. Phoenix entered the game with a 13-12 record, while Chicago will restart the season looking to improve on its 10-14 mark. The Mercury and Fever go head-to-head for a second time this season on Aug.
