As excitement builds for Caitlin Clark’s upcoming WNBA debut, the Indiana Fever’s new star is already making waves, not just for her basketball prowess but for the unusual requests coming her way.
Recently, during the third game of the NBA playoff series between the Indiana Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks, Clark was seen engaging with fans at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Selected first overall in the WNBA draft last week, Clark has quickly become a beloved figure in Indiana.
Before the Pacers’ game on Friday, Clark was involved in a pregame activity that saw her energizing the crowd by revving the accelerator of a replica IndyCar.
However, the highlight of her evening was perhaps one of her more unconventional autograph requests to date. In a moment captured by the Indiana Fever, Clark was asked to sign an ultrasound photo, an odd request that certainly caught the attention of fans and spectators.

While some found this request a bit unusual, Clark took it in stride and continued to participate enthusiastically in the evening’s events. She even joined her Fever teammates for a T-shirt toss during the second quarter.
Clark remained at the game to witness the Pacers clinch a thrilling overtime victory against the Bucks, taking a 2-1 lead in the series thanks to a last-second play by Tyrese Haliburton.
Having finished her college career as the NCAA Division I all-time scoring leader with 3,951 points, expectations are high for Clark as she transitions to the professional level. The Fever, who have not reached the WNBA playoffs since 2016, are hopeful that Clark’s addition will herald a new era of success.
The Indiana Fever is set to kick off its regular season on May 14, with fans and the franchise alike eager to see how Clark will impact the team’s performance on the court.
