Maya Moore's jersey will be retired in front of Caitlin Clark, who idolized the former star

• "I wanted to be just like her."

Driving the news: Clark's Indiana Fever take on the Lynx Saturday night.

The big picture: Clark, 22, grew up idolizing Moore, 35, when the Lynx were winning titles in the 2010s.

• Clark's family used to make the 3.5-hour drive from Des Moines to Target Center to watch the Lynx play.

By the numbers: Moore played all eight seasons of her relatively short WNBA career in Minnesota. She won four championships, played in six All-Star Games, and was named MVP in 2014.

• Before that, she won two NCAA championships at the University of Connecticut.

Zoom out: She will become the fifth former Lynx player to have her number hung on the rafters, after Lindsay Whalen, Rebekkah Brunson, Seimone Augustus, and Sylvia Fowles.
