evidence: CLEVELAND (AP) — Women’s basketball has grown in popularity over the past few years thanks in no small part to the sensational play of Caitlin Clark. [...] Griner was part of the 2013 draft class with Elena Delle Donne and Skylar Diggins-Smith that had a huge following when they were coming into the WNBA. She was happy to see all the new attention on the sport that Clark and Reese have brought. "There’s a lot of buzz," Griner said at USA Basketball practice Friday. "We definitely have to use that momentum. It’s like there’s been a lot of great talent, but some of the stuff Caitlin is doing is on a whole another level. There’s always been excitement and great players, but I just think the coverage wasn’t there like it is now and that’s great to see to tell more of the stories."
