Caitlin Clark hands Lexie Hull a drink during WNBA three-point contest... after teammate intervened on her wild night out
Clark, who is not competing in All-Star events due to a groin injury, was seen enjoying a night out on Thursday as she and her WNBA peers descended on Indianapolis nightclub INVY.
And she certainly kept the party going on Friday as she (at least) twice offered Hull a drink while sitting courtside for the three-point contest.
As seen in a video from the WNBA X account, Clark tried to give Hull a sip of her drink before she competed in the event, with the former Stanford star playfully turning her friend down.
However, Hull later took Clark up on her offer - seemingly after her performance in the three-point contest - as Clark clapped her hands and pumped her first in the air.
Hull, who replaced Clark in the three-point contest, scored a respectable 20 points but did not advance to the final round.
On Friday morning, Clark said on Good Morning America that she would be 'active on the sidelines' during the All-Star events., and that rang true on Friday as she cheered alongside Sophie Cunningham, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston.
A night before, Boston was seen discreetly taking a drink out of Clark's hands after noticing her teammate's actions were being caught on StudBudz's live stream.
Fans on social media praised Boston, who was drafted with the No. 1 overall pick by the Fever the year before Clark, for looking out for her younger teammate and her image.
At one point in the night, Clark found her way behind the DJ booth with her arm wrapped around the emcee.
When he thrust the microphone in her face and asked if she was 'ready to turn up' Clark let out shout of 'woo' and hoisted her can, which appeared to be a hard seltzer, into the air.
Nonetheless, she appeared to be doing OK the next morning when she and her Fever teammates appeared on GMA.
'I'm feeling good,' she told GMA host Robin Roberts when asked about being ruled out of the game. 'Obviously a lot of this cheers me up.
'It's good to see everybody out here having a really good time…I'll be there. I'm gonna be active on the sidelines. I gotta cheer these two on,' she added gesturing to Boston and fellow Fever teammate Mitchell.
Clark has endured an injury-plagued season for the Fever, missing 10 regular season games, and she hurt herself again on Tuesday while facing the Sun.
The Fever star, who had already missed time with injuries to her left groin and quad, hurt her right groin and later announced to fans that she would be sitting out of All-Star Weekend.

Clark was supposed to be in the three-point contest as well as the All-Star Game, where she was voted to captain her own team.
'I am incredibly sad and disappointed to say I can't participate in the 3-Point Contest or the All-Star Game,' she said in a message posted by the Fever.
'I have to rest my body. I will still be at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for all the action and I'm looking forward to helping (Liberty coach Sandy Brondello) coach our team to a win.'
Fever coach Stephanie White said her star player had imaging done Wednesday afternoon and deferred to the team's training staff for more details, except to say that she considered it good news.
She appeared emotional after injuring herself against the Liberty, as she covered her head with a towel and appeared to be holding back tears.
Clark never missed a game in college or her debut WNBA season, but she's now had four different muscle injuries so far this year.
She missed the Fever's preseason opener with tightness in her quad but played the next day in an exhibition game at her alma mater, Iowa. She then suffered a quad strain against New York on May 24 that kept her out for five games.
Clark returned June 14 and played in five games before suffering another injury to her left groin that kept her out for four contests and the Commissioner's Cup final.

Caitlin Clark receives injury update as WNBA return is left in doubt
Caitlin Clark 's status remains unclear, but the Indiana Fever sensation did get some good news on Thursday. After Clark underwent further medical testing on her ailing right groin, the team has announced that no additional injury or tissue damage was discovered.

No timetable for Caitlin Clark's return to Fever
July 24 - When Caitlin Clark is ready to return from her third injury of the season, the Indiana Fever plan to share the news. Until then, Clark is out -- including Thursday's home game with the Las Vegas Aces -- until further notice with no timetable for her return from a right groin injury. Clark has played in only 13 of 24 games. She missed three weeks with a left quad strain and then a left groin injury sidelined her for two weeks. When she came back it was a brief break from the trainer's room. The Fever entered Thursday at 12-12, a half-game behind the sixth-place Aces (12-11). Indiana called off a scheduled shootaround Thursday morning and takes the court against Las Vegas following a 14-point loss to the Liberty in New York on Tuesday. Clark traveled with the team and met with doctors in New York. Clark missed last weekend's WNBA All-Star Game and said during the media sessions that the rash of injuries was unfamiliar, reminding her she's mortal. "This is the first time I haven't felt like a young body that can run around and sprint every day and just continue to do that," Clark said. "Being a professional athlete, you really have to take care of both your body and your mind -- it's been a journey learning about that." Clark is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game but can't shake a shooting slump she credits partially to her leg injuries. For the season, she's shooting just 36.7 percent from the field and 27.9 percent from 3-point range. --Field Level Media
