Blushing Caitlin Clark played by adorable little girl for photo-op courtside

Caitlin Clark is used to be the center of attention wherever she goes, but Thursday night while courtside a young kid totally stole her thunder.
The 22-year-old Indiana Fever All-Star and WNBA Rookie of the Year has been all over the Indiana sports scene lately whether it’s cheering on her man for a Butler Bulldogs game, or awkwardly sitting in a nearly empty arena for a G-League game, or just an Indiana Pacers or an Indianapolis Colts game.
On Thursday, Clark had a night out with boyfriend and Butler basketball assistant coach Connor McCaffrey for the Indy Ignite's volleyball game, which is the newly-formed professional indoor volleyball league. That’s when an adorable little girl sitting right next to her took center stage with her interactions with Clark.

This isn’t the first time Clark has adorably interacted with a fan like during the WNBA season when she gave another cute kid a once-in-a-lifetime gift.
What a good sport by Clark to make a moment that little fan will never forget.
