Under the glow of Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indiana basketball wasn’t just on display—it was making a statement. The Fever’s core, led by Caitlin Clark, wasn’t just there to watch; they were there to represent. Less than 24 hours after competing in Miami’s Unrivaled showcase, Aliyah Boston and Lexie Hull traveled 1,208 miles back to Indianapolis. And standing with them, fresh to the squad but already part of the family, was five-time WNBA All-Star DeWanna Bonner, taking in the moment with her new teammates.
It was a moment of Indiana supporting Indiana in celebration of the National Girls and Women in Sports. “Indiana Hoops supporting Indiana Hoops. Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, Lexi Hull, and DeWanna Bonner in the house! @IndianaFever x @Pacers,” NBA’s X account shared.
Just a day earlier, Boston and Hull were competing at Unrivaled in Miami. But here they are, celebrating the Fever Night and cheering the Pacers out loud from the courtside as they took on the New York Knicks.

As of the moment this is being reported, the visiting team held a narrow 91-86 lead in the third quarter. You’d catch Caitlin Clark hyping the crowd if you looked close and it wouldn’t be a surprise.
The Pacers and specifically Tyrese Haliburton has been a frequent presence at Fever games. “Hope y’all seeing what 22 doin at Gainbridge,” he’d also tweeted in reference to Clark earlier this past season. So it was no shocker the Pacers showed up in ‘Indiana Fever’ and ‘WNBA’ outfits, celebrating female athletes, ahead of the game either.
That mutual respect between the Pacers and Fever goes beyond just tweets and game-day appearances.
