Everywhere Caitlin Clark goes, the spotlight follows.

The Indiana Fever star delivered for Team USA at the FIBA Women’s World Cup Qualifying Tournament. She served as the catalyst behind the Americans’ pristine 5-0 record.

The 24-year-old star took home tournament MVP honors after averaging 11.6 points and 6.4 assists per game.

Now, Clark enters the 2026 WNBA season refreshed and hungry. She looks to bounce back after an injury-riddled second season that limited her to just 13 games. Clark averaged 16.5 points and 8.8 assists in 2025.

Before the new season tips off on May 8, Clark made a recent appearance at an Indiana Pacers game. She was more than just a spectator.

Clark was a welcome sight at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday. The Fever star showed up to support the Pacers as the Los Angeles Lakers came to town.

Clark did more than cheer from the stands, though. With a Sony camera in hand, she came in as a credentialed guest photographer for the home squad.

The results spoke for themselves. Clark snapped remarkable pictures throughout the night, and the Pacers made it official. The team shared her best shots on Instagram.

“@caitlinclark22 filled in as our photog and the results were fire

. swipe to see her flicks from tonight,” the post read.

Even the WNBA was left speechless by Clark’s exploits. The league’s official Instagram account responded with nothing but a fire emoji.

The Lakers ultimately beat the Pacers 137-130 behind Luka Doncic’s 43 points. The final score was secondary to what Clark’s courtside appearance represented.

The offseason has been a memorable one for the former Iowa star. She has attended galas, events and connected with fans across the country.

Clark keeps adding to her list of talents. At this point, the better question is what she cannot do.
