Caitlin Clark-Diana Taurasi rivalry is forming — and has ‘a little edge’: WNBA commissioner
NY Post
What’s better than stars coming into your league?
Rivalries forming once they enter it.
Caitlin Clark and Diana Taurasi have never faced each other on the basketball court, but the two No. 1 overall picks — Clark, the newest to that list, which came 20 years after Taurasi — will likely stage one of the WNBA’s most watched head-to-head matchups this coming regular season.
Even WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert acknowledged the potential old school vs. new school rivalry that may be brewing among the fellow guards.
“Business is booming,” Engelbert admitted during a Thursday appearance on CNBC.
She then added: “Hopefully, a rising tide lifts all boats and will lift all of our teams. We have some great rivalries forming with Caitlin-Sabrina (Ionescu) in New York, with Caitlin-Diana Taurasi in Phoenix, there’s a little edge there.”
