Caitlin Clark was front and center at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Monday night, where she witnessed a spectacular performance from Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton led the Pacers to a thrilling 114-110 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, putting up 34 points, 13 assists, and 3 steals. His remarkable shooting display, including 9 three-pointers, captured the attention of fans across the arena, including Clark, who was seated courtside with her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, and Haliburton’s girlfriend, Jade Jones.
As Haliburton hit his seventh three-pointer, the cameras panned to Clark, capturing her reaction in real time. The Fever star was visibly excited, and her celebration was later shared by the Indiana Fever on social media. The post, which included a still of Clark enjoying the moment, was accompanied by the caption, “she knows something about threes @caitlinclark22 celebrates @tyresehaliburton’s 7th triple of the evening.”
Upon seeing the post, Clark couldn’t help but laugh at the situation, playfully acknowledging her newfound internet fame. Commenting on the photo, she quipped, “I’m a meme,” embracing the viral moment with her usual sense of humor. Known for her witty social media presence, Clark has often trolled her friends and teammates, but this time, she happily turned the joke onto herself.
Clark’s reaction was part of a larger bond she shares with Haliburton and Jones. The trio has grown closer recently, with Clark and Jones often showing support for each other. The shared experience of enjoying the game together added another layer to Clark’s offseason, which has already included attending various sporting events and taking part in charitable activities.
Haliburton’s incredible shooting performance was a much-needed boost for the Pacers, and it appears to have marked a turning point for the young point guard after a challenging start to the season. With his confidence back and the Pacers securing a crucial win, it seems that both Haliburton and Clark have a lot to celebrate, on and off the court.
