Brittney Griner, Diana Taurasi Arrive In Style For First WNBA Game Vs. Caitlin Clark
The Phoenix Mercury are set to host Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever Sunday. It will be the first matchup between the No. 1 overall pick from the 2024 WNBA draft and league veteran Diana Taurasi. Before taking the floor, Taurasi and Mercury star Brittney Griner arrived in style, showing fashion with their pregame outfits.
Taurasi wore a black jacket, pants, and shoes, matching the dark theme. Griner rocked a graphic tee, cargo pants, and high-top shoes, strutting into the arena with a smile from cheek-to-cheek.
The matchup between the Mercury and Fever has been one of the most-anticipated games of the season. All eyes will be on Clark and Taurasi as fans look to see if there's any interaction between the two.

Taurasi and Griner were all smiles coming into the game, but between the lines, they've meant business all season. The Mercury are currently 9-8, winning six of their last ten games.
At 42 years old, Taurasi has recorded 16.5 points and 4.8 rebounds, while Griner has posted 19.3 points and 7.6 rebounds.
Both players will look to hand the Fever their third straight loss on Sunday. The game will be featured on ESPN at 3:00 ET.
