Caitlin Clark continues to prove she’s a true basketball fan as the 22-year-old star is spotted at the Indiana Mad Ants‘ game and sends the internet wild as she has now watched the NBA, the Olympics, the G-League NCAA and played in the WNBA in 2024.
The AP Athlete of the Year took to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse to watch the Indiana Pacers‘ affiliate take on the Salt Lake City Stars in a change of pace from watching the Butler Bulldogs play college hoops.
Instantly recognized, the social media team for the Mad Ants wasted no time picking up the NCAA record points holder and posting her online and fans loved the fact she was at the game, as she was joined by her boyfriend.
“Caitlin Clark is in the house tonight for the regular season opener,” the Mad Ants posted to X.com, formerly Twitter, with a photo of the WNBA star and Connor McCaffrey sat in the venvue and fans were quick to celebrate them.
One user wrote, “This woman is such a treasure for Indiana basketball, and sports. I love seeing her supporting all the teams!”
A second added, “Oh my goodness now I have to support the Mad Ants bc Caitlin Clark watches them… Oh boy.”
Whilst a third commented, “Because of Caitlin Clark I now know that the Mad Ants exist.”
And a fourth concluded, “This was a good idea because I had never heard of the Mad Ants! Y’all should get Caitlin to practice with y’all in the offseason!”
Could Caitlin Clark meet Bronny James?
The Mad Ants went on to please Clark by defeating Salt Lake 127-116 on home turf before they take them on again on Saturday, December 28 but could we be primed for a mouth-watering celebrity crossover in the G League?
Bronny James, son of LeBron, is currently with the South Bay Lakers in the NBA feeder series on loan from the Los Angeles Lakers and is starting to get into the swing of things by hitting 30+ point margins.
So could the Mad Ants eventually take on South Bay to set up a crossover between Clark and the 20-year-old prospect? Whilst it seems like good news as Indiana take on the Lakers on January 14 in Indianapolis, it’s not what fans would hope for.
Due to the fact that they are on the road, Bronny won’t be with the team as part of his deal with Los Angeles so the pair will miss each other, unless something changes between now and that Tuesday night.
