With many celebrities making a courtside appearance for the playoff games, it would be hard for the cameraman to find all of them. For some who do not want much attention, there are seats far away from the court. That was the case for the Indiana Fever team, who came along with their no.1 draft pick Caitlin Clark, to support their home team performing in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. Anyhow, wouldn’t it be quite easy to find someone like Clark in the stands? 

Clark wanted to keep her attire quite simple today. The 22-year-old wore a white cap, a black Nike T-shirt, and a grey hoodie, while her teammate Aliyah Boston sported a simple white full-sleeve. The duo was joined by a few other teammates, who also made a lowkey appearance at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. 

This is more or less a do-or-die game for the Indiana Pacers, who are down 0-2 to the New York Knicks. Tyrese Haliburton, who is the captain of the ship for the Pacers, has already started to put on a show. And Caitlin Clark and her team made sure they cheered for Haliburton from the stands during this important game.

Clark made her home debut for the Fever yesterday at the Gainbridge fieldhouse. This highly anticipated game was rescheduled, however, for game 3 between the Pacers and the Knicks. 

Caitlin Clark’s home debut came earlier than expected!

The Indiana Fever were supposed to face the Atlanta Dream tonight. The game was originally scheduled for 10th May, but after the Indiana Pacers beat the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round, there was a sudden change in plan. The Fever vs the Dream was preponed to Thursday night, which was yesterday. Head coach Christie Sides said, “We had to adjust, that’s what basketball and coaching is. It was the final preseason game for the Clark and the Fever.

The 22-year-old dropped 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists, which helped the Indiana unit win the game by 3 points. Aliyah Boston on the other hand dropped 11 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks. The Fever played only two preseason games. The first one was a tough loss for them. Although Clark dropped 21 points and 5 threes, her team lost by 3 points to the Dallas Wings.

The main games start on May 14, where Clark and Co. will be facing the Connecticut Sun for their first regular season matchup. Also, if the Pacers advance to the Conference Finals in the following weeks, then we might see another change in the schedule for the Fever and the WNBA. Anyhow before that, Clark wanted to enjoy some playoff vibes and she got it’s full fun as her home team secured a grand comeback in the third clash.
