The NBA’s Indiana Pacers travelled back home on Tuesday for Game 5 after a decisive 129–103 victory in Milwaukee on Sunday night.

Now up 3-1 in the series against the Bucks, Indiana looks to close things out at home.

However, the real news coming out of Gainbridge Fieldhouse wasn’t anything happening on the court, but rather who was in attendance, none other than Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.

Off the court, Clark’s resume already includes NCAA Division I’s all-time scoring record (3,951 points) for both men’s and women’s categories and WNBA Rookie of the Year honors after leading all rookies in scoring (769 points) and assists (337).

The NBA immediately took notice, showing Clark up on the big screen sitting next to Fever teammate Lexie Hull and boyfriend Connor McCaffery.

Fans were quick to point out that Clark, Hull and McCaffery all opted to not wear the free gold Pacers playoff T-shirt handed out during the game.

On a separate post made by Indiana beat reporter, Scott Agness, one user said, “Gotta tell them to put their shirts on!! Lol.”

To which Agness replied, “No, who cares. If you got a ticket to the game, wear what you want. — That’s my belief, anyway.”

Similarly, another fan said, “Put the shirt on! 😂,” while one other was strictly focused on the game, remarking, “Pacers better step their game up because it ain’t looking good.”

Commenting on the original post was another fan who was quick to point out who was sitting beside her, “And Lexie Hull!”

Another user said, “She here to support.”

Last season, the Fever themselves matched their best win total since 2015 at 20-20, snapping a seven-year playoff drought before a first-round exit to Connecticut.

As the Pacers look to finish off the Bucks, the Fever prepare for Year 2 with Clark as their face.
