Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever play the Golden State Valkyries on Thursday at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California. 

Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors play their home games at the Chase Center, so it was only right that Clark paid homage to Curry. 

After the Fever finished shootaround, Clark yelled out "Curry" as she made a 3-pointer, according to Kendra Andrews of ESPN

Curry, the basketball legend who has spent his entire career with the Warriors, has made the most 3-pointers in NBA history. 

Clark has appeared in six games this season for the Fever, who are 6-5. The All-Star point guard is averaging 21.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 8.7 assists while shooting 44.7% from the floor, 40.0% from beyond the arc and 75.9% from the foul line. 

The Fever are 2-0 since Clark returned from a left quad injury. Indiana has defeated the New York Liberty and the Connecticut Sun.

Clark and Co. clinched a spot in the Commissioner's Cup championship game with an 88-71 win over the Sun on Tuesday at home. 

The Fever, who made the playoffs last year for the first time since 2016, will face the Minnesota Lynx in the Commissioner's Cup championship game.

"Obviously, we're excited. It's a big deal," Clark said on Tuesday. "It's a hard thing to do, and why wouldn't we celebrate that? We're getting to play for a pool of money -- that's pretty fun -- and you're competing to win a trophy. It's an extra game for us to get better, as well."

The Valkyries are 5-6 on the season. This is their first year in the WNBA.
