Caitlin Clark may be down with an injury, but she is still having fun.
Wednesday night was a damn good night to be a Pacers fan as they took a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals with a 116-107 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In the midst of a tense Game 3, the Indiana Pacers found an unexpected source of energy from the sidelines. Caitlin Clark, the injured star of the Indiana Fever, brought a spark to the arena without even donning a jersey.
Seated courtside at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Clark channeled the spirit of a Pacers legend with a gesture that has become infamous: the choke sign.
During the second quarter, Clark’s playful rendition of Reggie Miller’s iconic gesture went viral.
Reggie Miller, known for his clutch performances and fiery competitiveness, directed his infamous choke sign at the New York Knicks during the 1994 playoffs.
Haliburton would bring it back against that same team weeks ago when he hit what he thought was a game-winning three-pointer.
Caitlin Clark Continues to Be Good Luck
The Indiana Pacers obviously have a talented roster full of good shooters and defenders, from Tyrese Haliburton to NBA Finals Game 3 star Bennedict Mathurin.
However, one star who doesn’t play for the team might be good luck for them.
Caitlin Clark is friends with Haliburton, and she’s attended eight games as the Pacers have made a run to the championship series this year.
The Pacers have notched a victory in all eight contests.
They play on Friday at home, and if there’s a Game 6, it will be on Thursday, June 19.
Caitlin might just ride this streak to a championship.
