Diana Taurasi when asked about Caitlin Clark's impact on women's basketball: "It's amazing. 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." #WNBATwitter #ValleyTogether #FeverRising
