The Indiana Fever social media team was locked and loaded for Sunday’s contest against Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury.
Following the Fever’s come-from-behind win on the road, the team shared a post on social media with the final score of 88-82 and two simple words: reality check. This was a call back to Taurasi’s highly-criticized comments about Caitlin Clark shortly after the Iowa star was drafted first overall in the WNBA Draft earlier this year.
“Reality is coming, there’s levels to this thing,” Taurasi said during an appearance on SportsCenter shortly after the WNBA Draft. Her message came across as some sort of warning, but one that clearly wasn’t needed as Clark has found instant success on the hardwood since stepping into the professional ranks.
During Sunday’s win, a game the Fever trailed by double digits at halftime, Clark nearly recorded a triple-double before finishing the contest with 15 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds. Taurasi recorded 19 points to go along with three rebounds and three assists.
After having a front-row seat to watch Clark on Sunday, Taurasi had nothing but positive things to say about the rookie sensation.
“It’s amazing,” she said during her postgame press conference “What Caitlin’s been able to do in her short career so far has been nothing short of remarkable. The one thing that I really love about her … she’s put the work in. Even throughout her short WNBA career, it’s been a lot of pressure, a lot of things thrown at her and she keeps showing up and she keeps getting better every single game. So her future is super bright.”
While it wouldn’t be fair to say Clark and Taurasi have any sort of real feud, the two have inevitably been tied together on the topic of the upcoming Olympics in Paris. The 42-year-old Taurasi is headed to France to represent the United States, but Clark was left off of the Olympic roster in one of the most ridiculous decisions in modern sports history.
