On Friday night, Caitlin Clark led the Indiana Fever to their first season win with a decisive three-pointer, clinching a 78-73 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks.
Post-game, Clark had an endearing encounter with Hollywood celebrities Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, both natives of Iowa like Clark, who were there to witness the Fever’s triumph.
Clark shared a warm hug with Kutcher and took a moment with his children. The encounter was especially touching for his daughter, who was moved to tears after meeting one of the most celebrated players in women’s basketball.
Reporter Jordan Mendoza captured the moment, noting, “Caitlin Clark met with Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, and family, and their daughter cried after meeting the Fever star.”
In her postgame press conference, Clark addressed how she handles media attention and criticism. “To be honest, I’m not really on social media; I don’t read that,” she stated. “This is my job. My job is to compete and play basketball every single day. I think the more attention we can get on every team around this league, the better it will help the league grow.”
Clark emphasized her commitment to her team and the sport: “My job is just to continue to show up and help this team get better. Obviously, we’re fighting for our first win, and that’s my main focus. That’s where 110% of my focus is. That’s what I think about every single day — coming in and getting better and focusing on what I need to focus on.”
Her dedication and poise make Caitlin Clark a true role model.
