A fan was left wondering if Clark would be at the Fever game supporting her teammates.

"Wait. So she won’t be at the Fever game tonight?!?? Can’t they do the induction after the playoffs? I cannot imagine that there is a more important person to be there than CC regardless of who else went to Dowling. 🤔."

"They should have waited until tomorrow because the Fever have a game tonight."

A fan poked fun, saying that others must deserve more than the Fever player.

"🤔 Surely there are more deserving players than Caitlin 😳😵‍💫😝😝🤣😂🤣😂."

Is Caitlin Clark not attending Fever playoff game today?

Caitlin Clark set her priority straight and chose to attend the Fever vs Aces Game 3 and support her teammates in what is turning out to be a highly competitive series. Shortly before the game, Indy Star reported that Clark was attending the game, ditching her HoF ceremony.

On his X handle, Indy Star reporter Brian Haenchen posted a video of Clark entering the Gainbridge Fieldhouse arena in her Nike attire.

The HoF induction was scheduled at 6:15 p.m. CT, which was 15 minutes after the Fever-Aces game started. According to Indy Star, the ceremony was scheduled before Dowling Catholic's homecoming football game. Apart from Clark, the other six former Dowling athletes will be honored.
