Caitlin Clark gets a RED CARPET from Indiana Fever as WNBA side make major change to player arrivals after midseason break

Caitlin Clark has quite literally got her own red carpet at Indiana Fever with the WNBA team changing up the process of how players arrive for games at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The Fever made the most of the midseason break by rolling out a red carpet and a team logo alongside it, meaning Clark and her team can make a grand arrival for their games.

And Clark produced a performance fitting of such an entrance – leading her team to victory with 29 points in the 98-89 win on Friday night. 

It was picked up on by Pacers and Fever reporter Scott Agness, who tweeted: ‘Coming out of the Olympic break, the Fever now have a red carpet compete with a logo background for player arrivals.’

Clark has driven interest in Indiana’s team to another level after being picked first in the WNBA Draft earlier this year. 

The team’s home games are almost nailed-on sellouts, while her presence has seen multiple games this season upgraded to NBA arenas that sellout.

The 22-year-old Clark returned to WNBA action Friday after a break of a month – she was controversially left out of the USA women’s Olympic team that won gold in Paris, 

Clark was overlooked because she missed practice due to her NCAA commitments with Iowa in the weeks before she made the move to the WNBA.

Fever are battling to make the WNBA playoffs, going into Friday’s game 11-15 for the season.

Speaking before tipoff, Clark said: ‘It gets you excited. We were 1-8 and if people thought we were going to go to the break at seventh place, a lot of people would’ve thought you were lying. 

I probably would’ve thought you were lying, too. I felt like I was starting to get in a groove (before the break). I wanted to keep playing.

‘I definitely feel more fresh, more prepared or whatever it is. There’s definitely a balance, we have been itching to get back out on the court over the last week especially.’
