Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark has taken the mantle of another WNBA great for Team USA.
During this month’s FEBA Women’s World Cup qualifier tournament, Clark sported the No. 12 for Team USA that once belonged to women’s basketball legend Diana Taurasi. How does DT feel about that? She approves!
“I couldn’t think of anyone better to take it,” Taurasi told Sports Illustrated‘s Grant Young about Clark having her number. “No one better to wear the 12, and Caitlin’s going to put some gold medals on that jersey.”
What an awesome passing of the torch from one WNBA great to another for Team USA.
