'Role Model' - Basketball Fans React To Caitlin Clark's Classy Gesture

With the WNBA season set to tip-off just under a month from now, Caitlin Clark made an appearance at Saturday’s playoff game between the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks.

And when cameras flashed to the 2024 Rookie of the Year, the Indiana Fever star made sure to pull in a couple of young fans so that they could get some shine too.

Fans couldn’t get enough of it on social media.

“Heyyy @CaitlinClark22 👋,” the WNBA waved.

“CC love the fans man.”

“The fact that she’s such a significant household name that any kid walking by would have her jersey on!!!!!! I love this so much,” another basketball fan pointed out.

Clark has certainly kept busy this offseason and in just a couple short weeks she and the Fever will headline the WNBA’s first ever nationally televised preseason game vs. the Brazilian National Team.

Caitlin’s influence on women’s basketball simply can’t be overstated and her team figures to be one of the best in The W as she heads into Year 2.

For now though, she’ll root on Tyrese Haliburton and the hometown Pacers as they attempt to defend Gainbridge Fieldhouse against Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference’s first round.
