Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark was in attendance for Game 1 of the first-round series between the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks, where she was spotted early on in a suite, proudly wearing one of the yellow Pacers shirts handed out to the crowd.
Game 2 brought a different kind of energy. Clark emerged from the tunnel alongside Fever teammates Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell to help hype up the home crowd, tossing shirts into various sections during the first half and energizing fans at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Both Indiana basketball teams—the Pacers and the Fever—call the stadium home, and they’ve built a strong bond of mutual support. Since Clark’s arrival, players from each team have been regularly spotted cheering each other on.
Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton attended several Fever home games last season, and now Clark has returned the favor, showing her support throughout Indiana’s first two playoff matchups.
“Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever get the Pacers crowd hyped!” The NBA posted.
