The WNBA All-Star Game is upon us, and the two teams are set. Cheryl Reeve and Becky Hammon will coach the two teams. Reeve will lead Team Coop, managed by Cynthia Cooper, and Hammon will lead Team Spoon, managed by Teresa Weatherspoon. One of the most exciting things from the game is certainly the team-up of Caitlin Clark and Olivia Miles.
In a media availability before the All-Star game, Cheryl Reeve was asked about the backcourt of Caitlin Clark and Olivia Miles on her team.
“Super fun,” she replied. “Super fun. I’m excited for the fans. Really, all the players. But there’s some really, really special guard play. So, obviously we knew a time when you had Sue and Diana.
“This next era of guard play, Caitlin will be a big part of that. Olivia Miles will be a big part of that. So, it’s fun to have them as our backcourt,” she continued.
