Caitlin Clark continued to enjoy her offseason on Monday night as she sat courtside at the Indiana Pacers game with boyfriend Connor McCaffery.
The Indiana Fever superstar is currently making the most of her longest break from basketball since playing for the Iowa Hawkeyes in college.
Since the Fever were dumped out of the WNBA’s playoffs in the first round, Clark has been busy taking part in golf tournaments, attending charity events and watching plenty of sport.
Her latest night out came on Monday as she went to support the Pacers as they took on the New Orleans Pelicans.
She was sat courtside with boyfriend McCaffery and Jade Jones, the girlfriend of Pacers star player Tyrese Haliburton.
Clark’s arrival at Gainbridge Fieldhouse delighted a group of girls dressed in her Indiana Fever and Iowa jerseys.

It was also not the first basketball game Clark watched from the stands in recent days.
She was also in the crowd for Butler’s men’s basketball game on Friday against Merrimack College, with McCaffery on the Bulldogs’ coaching staff as an assistant.
However, fans all said she looked incredibly bored in the stands at Indianapolis’ Hinkle Fieldhouse.
The Fever star was talking to other people and constantly checking her phone instead of watching the action.
In fairness, the game was a blowout, as the Bulldogs defeated the Warriors 78-39, with Merrimack scoring eight points in the game’s final 21 minutes.
Clark will definitely have more time to herself this winter after choosing not to play in Unrivaled, a new 3-on-3 women’s basketball league.
The rosters were announced last week, and although Napheesa Collier, Angel Reese and Breanna Stewart are among the WNBA stars set to play, Clark is sitting it out.

Clark is joining a group bidding to own a National Women’s Soccer League franchise in Cincinnati.
The NWSL bid team said Clark’s influence on women’s sports will serve as a boost toward its goal for an expansion franchise.
“The NWSL Cincinnati bid team is thrilled that Caitlin Clark has joined our ownership group in pursuit of bringing a women’s professional soccer team to our city,” the NWSL Cincinnati bid team said. “Her passion for the sport, commitment to elevating women’s sports in and around the Greater Cincinnati region, and influence as an athlete and role model for women and girls around the world, make her a vital part of our compelling bid to become the 16th team in the NWSL.”
Haliburton finished with 34 points and 13 assists and made a season best nine three-pointers in the game, leading the Pacers to a 114-100 win.
Haliburton’s tiebreaking three with 3:06 to go and Bennedict Mathurin’s alley-oop dunk off Haliburton’s pass with a minute left finally secured the win.
