Cameras Capture Caitlin Clark And Diana Taurasi’s Chat After Fever-Mercury Scuffle
During Sunday's Indiana Fever vs. Phoenix Mercury matchup, things got a little intense after both teams were involved in an altercation that led to four total technical fouls being handed out.
The incident happened midway through the second quarter when Fever forward Temi Fagbenle and Mercury guard Natasha Cloud started jawing at each other, which forced the rest of the players on the court to get involved. Fagbenle, Cloud, Erica Wheeler, and Kahleah Copper each received a technical.
Shortly after this altercation, cameras showed star guards Caitlin Clark and Diana Taurasi having a little chat. Both players were all smiles and could be seen laughing with one another.
This is Clark's first matchup with Taurasi, and the 20-year age differential is the largest among WNBA guards.
