Indianapolis — WNBA star Caitlin Clark attended the NBA Finals to support the Indiana Pacers during their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. Clark, dressed in a yellow fan shirt, sat with her teammates from the Indiana FeverAliyah Boston and Natasha Howard — in the stands.

Basketball legends such as Oscar Robertson and Reggie Miller were also present at the game, sitting courtside. This marked the Pacers' first home game in the NBA Finals since 2000.
