July 13, 2025, marks a historical moment for the WNBA. In a couple of hours, fans will witness two favorites, Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers lock horns for the first time as professionals. But before the two athletes step on the hardwood, Indiana Fever superstar has a special message surrounding the Dallas Wings’ rookie, Caitlin Clark.
Yahoo Sports reporter, Andy Backstorm took to social media and provided an exciting update ahead of the Fever-Wings showdown. He shared a clip featuring Caitlin Clark on X (former Twitter) with caption, “Caitlin Clark on Paige Bueckers before Fever-Wings: “She’s always just been smooth. She takes what the game gives her. … She just plays way older than she is. “… She can score from all 3 levels. That’s how she’s always played. That’s obviously translated really well.”

This statement comes moments before the tipoff. In game one between Indiana Fever and Dallas Wings, Paige Bueckers had appreciated Caitlin Clark for her enormous efforts in upholstering the league. She had even called out the W “unfair” for preparing a tight-packed schedule this season.
