Haliburton, of course, is fresh off a big Game 2 win against the New York Knicks on Friday, where the young star helped lead his team to a stunning victory on the road. It set the stage for a potential closeout scenario in Game 4 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Despite being less than 24 hours removed from the Pacers' big win, Haliburton took the opportunity to watch Clark and the Fever face off with the Liberty, the reigning champs.

In a photo shared by the Indiana Fever's social media team on X, Haliburton was seen sitting courtside at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for Saturday's game alongside Caitlin Clark's boyfriend, Connor McCaffery.

McCaffery, of course, spent time working with the Pacers as well. After spending six seasons playing at the University of Iowa, he joined Rick Carlisle's staff as a team assistant and development coordinator.

Now, however, with his sights set on eventually following in his dad's footsteps and becoming a coach, McCaffery is the assistant basketball coach at Butler University.

Caitlin Clark draws parallels between herself and Tyrese Haliburton following the Indiana Pacers' big win over the Knicks

Since being drafted by the Indiana Fever, Caitlin Clark, and her boyfriend, have become friends with Tyrese Haliburton and his longtime girlfriend, Jade Jones.

In the past, Haliburton and his girlfriend have been seen in attendance at Indiana Fever games, while on the flip side, Clark has been seen in attendance at Indiana Pacers games.

Additionally, as Haliburton revealed back in September, he and his girlfriend have a group chat with Clark and her boyfriend.

The mutual support between the two sides was on full display this week. Haliburton led the Pacers to a 2-0 lead over the Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals, with Clark calling the Pacers the greatest comeback team she's ever seen.

While speaking with members of the press prior to tip-off for Saturday's game, Clark also spoke about the parallels in her and Haliburton's play style.

"I was actually texting him after our last game against Atlanta. We have a group chat and talk about all sorts of stuff. Teams do the same thing to him—they try to take the ball out of his hands early in transition. And I think, at times, the way we play can be very similar to how the Pacers play."

While the WNBA season is in full swing, perhaps we'll see Clark and McCaffery in attendance at a Pacers game.
