Caitlin Clark made her first official appearance at Gainbridge Fieldhouse as a member of the Indiana Fever on Friday.

Clark took part in the Indiana Pacers pregame ritual by "revving up" a custom-built IndyCar before the team tipped off Game 3 of its NBA playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks.

As the smoke emerged from the back of the IndyCar, Clark received a standing ovation from the sellout crowd.

Clark's involvement in the Pacers' pregame tradition might have set the tone, as Indiana jumped out to a 39–22 lead after the first quarter.

Clark, who was selected by the Fever with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, will begin training camp on Sunday. She is set to make her official WNBA debut in the Fever's regular-season opener May 14 against the Connecticut Sun.
