The idea of a beef between Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark and Phoenix Mercury superstar Diana Taurasi might not be a big of a deal as we thought.
After the two shared an amicable hug before their teams’ Sunday game in Phoenix, the two shared a laugh while talking with each other during an official review.
The game break was sparked by a handful of Fever and Mercury players getting into a brief scuffle on the court. The refs assessed a couple of technical fouls after they reviewed what happened on the court, and the game eventually went on as scheduled.
During the pause in play, Clark and Taurasi were all smiles as they laughed with each other about something, as the ESPN broadcast captured the very delightful moment for the viewers at home.

While these two were competing with one another, it was really fun to see them let their guards down and laugh with each other after their two teams got into a scuffle.
Maybe Clark and Taurasi wind up being friends after all?
