Caitlin Clark makes shock appearance during Pacers-Bucks NBA playoff as she hypes up crowd

WNBA star Caitlin Clark made a surprise appearance during halftime of the Indiana Pacers game against the Milwaukee Bucks to throw out t-shirts and hype up the playoff crowd in Indianapolis.

Clark, alongside several Fever teammates, with Aliyah Boston and Kelsea Mitchell getting specific shout outs inside the arena, made the crowd go wild, tossing red shirts inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse. 

Clark took to the court wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, with her beige purse to her left. 

The Fever and Pacers share an arena, with the sold-out crowd for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference series likely mimicking the atmosphere for plenty of Clark’s games over the next few months. 

Clark’s presence helped the Pacers take down the Bucks 123-115 to take commanding 2-0 series lead.

The playoff tilt now shifts to Milwaukee for the next two games, with Game 3 slated for Friday in Wisconsin.

The Pacers lead wire-to-wire, scoring the game’s first eight points, which also ended up being the difference in the game. 

The Bucks did cut the lead to two with under three minutes left, with Indiana able to hold off their Central Division rivals. 

It was a balanced effort from the Pacers, as the game’s two leading scorers were both on Milwaukee in Giannis Antetokounmpo, who led all scorers with 34, and Bobby Portis, who had 28. 

Indiana has six players score 14 points or more, including every member of its starting lineup, led by Pascal Siakam with 24. 

Milwaukee is now in the unenviable position of needing to win four of its next five or be eliminated from the playoffs. The only silver lining is three of those games would take place in Wisconsin.
