Caitlin Clark can’t seem to stay out of the basketball spotlight—even when she’s just watching from the sidelines. The WNBA’s rising star made yet another courtside appearance on Wednesday, this time at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Indiana Pacers matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on March 26.
But instead of hyping up the game, fans online had only one request – to see Caitlin, LeBron James, and Luka Dončić in one snap.
Fans Go Wild Over Clark’s Presence
Clark, joined by her boyfriend Connor McCaffery, took in the action alongside her Fever teammate Lexie Hull and boyfriend, Will Matthiessen. As soon as the news spread that Clark was in attendance, social media erupted with excitement.
While the Lakers battled to keep their postseason hopes alive, social media had its own agenda. The internet wasted no time imagining the ultimate basketball trio. One fan summed up the sentiment perfectly:
“Caitlin, Bron and Luka when?”
Another echoed the demand: “We need a group photo.”
Some were even preparing for the historic moment: “As soon as we get Caitlin Clark and LeBron in the same picture, I’ll have my forever profile pic.”
Clark’s presence alone was enough to steal the spotlight, but while she was making waves off the court, King James was busy making history on it.
James Extends His Legendary Streak
The 40-year-old Lakers star entered the fourth quarter with just three points, struggling at 0-for-6 from the field. His streak of scoring at least 10 points in every game since Jan. 5, 2007, appeared to be in jeopardy.
But in classic James fashion, he went on rampage—scoring on four straight possessions in just three minutes to extend his record to 1,283 consecutive games in double figures.
Despite the on-court action, the internet was still fixated on Clark’s courtside appearance. As one fan put it:
“Am I tripping, or is CC in a suite at the Lakers vs. Pacers game?? 🔥🔥🔥”
Another simply couldn’t contain their excitement, stating:
“SHE’S AT THE GAME!”
At this point, Clark’s offseason is turning into a spectacle of its own. The Fever superstar is gearing up for her second season in the WNBA after a hugely successful debut season where she won the WNBA Rookie of the Year.
But, whether she’s lighting it up on the court or just taking in a game, she continues to be basketball’s golden ticket—commanding attention wherever she goes. And if that dream photo with James and Dončić ever happens? Social media might just break.
