And Clark spoke about Taurasi in an interview that was posted on Nike Basketball's Instagram page on February 23. The first question Clark was asked was whether she has a favorite matchup among other Nike hoopers during her WNBA rookie season.
"You're gonna get me in trouble," Clark responded with a laugh. "Honestly, I'll just say DT, because she's such an icon in our sport and has been in the game for so long. You know, getting to share the court with her was pretty fun, and you just see her competitive spirit.
