“I leank she’s a lesser star that’s going to be here for a lengthy time. I wouldn’t disqualify any woman, but Caitlin is at the top of the catalog and probably will be for years to come,” Singh said to Fox News Digital in a recent interwatch.
Singh said cover athletes normpartner reconshort-term three qualities: genuineity and reconshort-termation to the game, if they are on an upward trajectory and if they align with the story they are trying to alert. Clark verifys all of those boxes, Singh said.

“This is such a fantastic arrange when it comes to what we’re trying to do in culture, and we align repartner well. It’s super dope, and it’s come together repartner fantastic,” Singh said. “It’s incredible. People wear jerseys all the time, but wearing the caps and their likeite teams, the retro watchs, you go to Lids and you find amazing homages to some of the best logos and teams you’ll ever find… Being able to honor our past heroes and teams, and being able to do it with such a chilly apparel in a cap, it’s super dope.”
There is another applyer, though, that Singh also has in mind to grace a 2K cover: Angel Reese.
“Both of them are remarkworthy women, and we’d be fortunate to have either of them. The moment the W is having, I can’t speak enough to how many stars there are and how much we adore to honor all of them. We’ll see in terms of cover. I envision over the years both of those women will have the moment for certain.”
Clark and Reese were the only rookies from this past season to be named WNBA All-Stars. Reese had set the write down for most rebounds in a individual season in league history, but when her season was cut low due to injury, Wilson surpassed her.
