On Monday night Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark supported the local NBA team and friend Tyrese Haliburton.
The Indiana Pacers star and Clark have become close after she was selected with the No. 1 overall pick following a historic college basketball career at Iowa. With the two forming a bond their significant others have also joined the party.
During Monday night’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Clark and boyfriend Connor McCaffery sat next to Haliburton’s girlfriend Jade Jones.
A video of the trio hit social media and immediately sparked reaction on social media.
“ma’am is that guy bothering you,” one fan joked about the awkward encounter.
“this just made me laugh out loudddd,” said another.
“Why he look at her like that,” questioned another.
Clark’s appearance at the game seems to be doing wonder for Haliburton, who has a game-high 34 points.

Earlier this month Haliburton revealed Clark is the person he admires most – in a sport that he doesn’t play (yes, she plays basketball too).
“The one that comes to mind is Caitlin Clark. She is a good friend, and she handles all this media stuff really well. Her name is constantly put in things she has nothing to do with and she is constantly used as propaganda for many people and she just handles it really well,” he said at the time. “[She] doesn’t say much, just plays basketball. I don’t know if I would be able to do, that If I was put in her position. So, I admire that about her.”
Clark even has NBA players shouting her out.
