Caitlin Clark’s influence is impossible to ignore. It’s so strong that in a recent Instagram post from NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver, which featured eight pictures, the first one shows the WNBA star, laughing with her boyfriend at a Pacers game! She’s also been showing up at Butler University men’s basketball games to cheer on her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, who’s an assistant coach. But she is back to witness some NBA action, once again, while becoming the epicenter of some ‘fan demands’.

Caitlin Clark’s pro debut has truly changed the game. From the get-go, her draft day shattered records, becoming the most-watched in WNBA history. This wasn’t just a fluke – Clark’s remarkable run at the University of Iowa had people excited, and it paid off. During her rookie season, she snagged the ROTY title and boosted TV ratings, merchandise sales, and arena attendance like never before.

The league saw a surge in interest that’s tough to ignore, and you can bet a huge part of that is Clark. She’s not just a player; she’s a movement, and the WNBA is riding that wave. Well, the youngster seems to have broadened her popularity horizon in the hoops community. Clark was now spotted at the Footprint Center to witness the Western Conference clash between the Warriors and the Suns. Her presence itself sparks conversations among millions on the internet. Fans were quick to react to this appearance.

Bay Area faithful feel Caitlin Clark can save the sinking Warriors ship against the Suns

She plays for the Indiana Fever in the WNBA. Keeping that in mind, one user on X wrote, “She wants to be a Mercury”. Phoenix Mercury is Arizona’s team in the WNBA. Traveling all the way to Arizona for this NBA matchup? Maybe she does want to play for the Mercury. Is it her way of signaling a trade? We don’t know.

This might be a lone WNBA fan, however, because the rest were all Warriors fans.

A netizen wrote, “Get her a Warriors jersey and sub her in right now!!!!!!”. Well, it’s safe to say the Warriors aren’t at their best in this game. They need help and who is better than the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I basketball, both men’s and women’s; she was also named National Player of the Year twice. A very Warriors-type resume for a player, wouldn’t you say?

Another fan suggested a hilarious trade for the Warriors. “Can we trade podz for her” they wrote. Brandin Podziemski has been struggling this season. After earning All-Rookie honors last season, his shooting has taken a noticeable dip. He’s currently hitting just 37% of his shots and a concerning 18.5% from beyond the arc—down 20% from his rookie year. Looks like fans can’t wait any longer for his turnaround. He’s young, though, but this next comment might shock you.

Even the greats have an off day. One user wrote, “Cait can you take steph’s place”. Stephen Curry had a rough first half, missing all five of his attempts. However, the Splash Bro found his rhythm in the third quarter, scoring 15 of his 17 points (5-of-14 FG). Well, it wasn’t an off day, just a really slow start. Give him some time guys, he’s just off his minor injury.

“She’d be better than any warrior not named Steph right now,” cheekily chimed in another netizen. The Suns had built a considerable lead in the 4th quarter. Except for Steph Curry, the other Warriors’ performances have been lackluster in this loss against the Suns.

The 2x MVP wrapped up the game with 23 points, seven rebounds, and four assists, playing 32 minutes. Steph struggled with his shooting, going 8-for-21 from the field and 3-for-10 from beyond the arc. Despite those numbers, the Splash Bro still made history, becoming only the 29th player in NBA history to score 24,000 career points.
