Caitlin Clark traveled with her Indiana Fever teammates to American Airlines Center on Friday for a matchup against the Dallas Wings. Clark missed her sixth straight game due to a groin injury but remained engaged on the sidelines, egging on her teammates.

Following Indiana’s 88-78 win, Clark met with 2024 Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles. After a brief hug, the point guard said:

“You had a Dallas Wings hat on, but I’ll let it slide. … No, just kidding. It’s cool!”

Chiles responded that she has a custom-made hat for every WNBA team. The star gymnast likely wore the Wings merch because she was in Dallas.

Caitlin Clark has made it a practice to greet celebrities after games. In May, the Fever star opened up about meeting LeBron James after one of her games.

"I don't really get too starstruck from people and that was a moment that I was like pretty (starstruck)," Clark said.

Chiles, meanwhile, was a part of Team USA that won silver in the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 and gold in the World Championships in London two years later. She helped Team USA to a gold medal in the Paris Olympics last year.


Indiana Fever rack up fourth straight win with Caitlin Clark on the sidelines

The Indiana Fever were on a three-game winning run when Caitlin Clark reinjured her groin against the Connecticut Sun in mid-July. Without her, the Fever lost back-to-back games against the New York Liberty.

The losses dropped the Fever to 4-7 without their prized point guard. However, they have since responded with four straight wins.

Indiana registered an 80-70 come-from-behind win over A’ja Wilson’s Las Vegas Aces on July 24. Three nights later, the Fever rolled into Chicago and beat the Sky 93-78.

Clark’s absence was felt on Wednesday against the Phoenix Mercury. Indiana stuttered without the superstar point guard, but Aliyah Boston carried the team to a 107-101 win. This was followed by a battle in Dallas, where the Fever emerged with an 88-78 win over the Wings on Friday.

The Fever have now strung together a season-best four-game win streak and improved their record to 8-7 without Clark.
