It was Clark who led the Fever to victory on Saturday with 13 points, six rebounds and seven assists, as Indiana went 3-0 in the preseason. Griner and the Dream, on the other hand, went 1-1 after securing a win against the Washington Mystics on Tuesday, 80-70.

After a game against the Atlanta Dream on Saturday, Cunningham sent a message to her former teammate, Brittney Griner, as both players enter new stages in their WNBA careers. "Former Mercury teammates Sophie Cunningham and Brittney Griner chatting it up just like old times," posted Ball Don't Lie.

The highly anticipated showdown between Brittney Griner and Caitlin Clark lasted only minutes before the Atlanta star exited the game, briefly raising concerns across the WNBA.
