Phoenix Mercury guard Diana Taurasi gave a blunt response when asked about her upcoming first matchup against Indiana Fever rookie guard Caitlin Clark .
“Yeah, it’ll be fun,” Taurasi said after the Mercury’s practice on Wednesday (June 26) before shifting her focus to another question via Desert Wave Media .
Taurasi, 42, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in WNBA history, had previously addressed Clark’s hype entering the league in April, which some took as criticism.
“And that’s just life, we all went through it,” Taurasi told ESPN ‘s Scott Van Pelt when asked about Clark, the No. 1 overall pick, and Kamilla Cardoso , who was by the Chicago Sky at No. 3 overall in the WNBA Draft. “You look superhuman playing against some 18-year-olds but you’re going to come [play] with some grown women that have been playing professional basketball for a long time. Not saying it’s not gonna translate, because when you’re great at what you do, you’re just gonna get better.
