Paige Bueckers Gives Insight into Relationship with Caitlin Clark

The WNBA is a very competitive league.
Some outlets haven’t seemed to grasp that concept, as talk about what players are wearing or who they are dating still dominates headlines. For as much attention as stars like Paige Bueckers, Caitlin Clark, and Angel Reese get, most of it is for off-court comments or actions rather than the successes and failures they have as athletes.
Clark and Bueckers had their first matchup as pros on Sunday as the Dallas Wings fell to the Indiana Fever, 102-83. Bueckers outscored Clark 21 to 14, although the Fever, the more experienced team, took the win.
As with any matchup against Clark, Bueckers couldn’t escape questions about the face of the league, who recently missed significant time with injury. Bueckers was asked if she checked in on Clark during her recovery process, but the two are not close friends.
Rather, they are fierce competitors.
“I haven’t talked to her personally, but I know she’s got a great team around her,” revealed Bueckers. “She works extremely hard. She has a great work ethic, sending prayers. You don’t wish injury upon anyone, so just wishing her a speedy recovery, but no, I didn’t reach out personally.”
Of course, when an NBA player has a mild injury, opponents aren’t expected to write a card or send flowers. There is certainly a brotherhood, and the sisterhood of the WNBA is very similar, but at the end of the day, the players want to win and don’t have to be friends in order to share the court as opponents.
