Months of chatter have led up to this point, as Caitlin Clark and Diana Taurasi take center stage for their first career meeting.
Taurasi, a 20-year WNBA veteran, had pointed words for the incoming rookie after Clark’s stellar collegiate career. While the pair didn’t fan the flames, fans were anticipating the veteran’s first matchup with Clark.
Unfortunately, fans had to wait nearly two months into Clark’s rookie season for the game. But it’s finally here, as Taurasi and the Mercury host Clark and the Fever at 3 p.m. ET Sunday, June 30, in front of a national audience on ESPN.
Clark will get her chance to clap back at Taurasi with her on-court play, even if their “beef” hasn’t included much back-and-forth to this point.

Caitlin Clark highlights vs. Phoenix Mercury
Clark struggled to start her debut matchup vs. Taurasi and the Mercury. Phoenix’s Kahleah Copper gave her little to no room on or off the ball in the first half, making both scoring and playmaking difficult for the rookie.
Still, the 22-year-old put together some highlights in the first two quarters, though the Fever trail the Mercury, 49-38, at halftime.
Of course, Clark gets her scoring started with a deep 3-pointer in the first quarter.
