Wheeler fully embraced her role as a backup, as well as a "big sister" for Clark, helping the rookie navigate through life as a WNBA player. "For me as a big sister, I'm going to take the first step, to just let her know, 'We're here, we got you.' ... She’s one of the biggest players in the world right now, and she don't act like that," Wheeler said, according to USA Today. "She's just like, 'Help me, in any way you can,' in a sweet way, there's no ego at all, she's not selfish."Clark and Wheeler reunited every time the Fever and Storm played against each other this season. They also shared the court during the 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend.
