Clark and Hull have become close friends off the court since the Iowa star arrived in Indianapolis. Cunningham, meanwhile, signed with the Fever ahead of the start of the season and has quickly established a bond with the two.

Fans were quick to react to the picture:

"Ones her best friend the other is her bodyguard," one fan wrote.

"They're her Secret Service detail🤣."

"lol I thought she was next to Boston."

"She's living the dream 😭😭😭."

Is Caitlin Clark playing against Atlanta Dream?

When the Indiana Fever announced Caitlin Clark's injury on May 26, there was a hope that she would make her return after four games, after an evaluation by the team. However, it seems like Fever fans will have to wait for yet another game to watch their star take the court.

Clark will miss her fifth straight game due to a quad injury. She has been ruled out of the game against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday.

According to coach Stephanie White, the Fever star has been "allowed to do some practicing," however, the team wanted to be extra careful and not rush Clark to the basketball court.

"We’re going to be smart, and we’re going to be cautious and we’re going to play the long game and work her back in very intentionally," White told reporters.

The Indiana Fever are also without Sophie Cunningham, who has missed the last three games with a right ankle injury.

Both Cunningham and Clark had a shootaround during practice. However, they are still not fit enough to return.
