Fever's Caitlin Clark shows up to support Pacers in Game 6 vs. Knicks
The post Fever's Caitlin Clark shows up to support Pacers in Game 6 vs. Knicks appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Indiana Pacers entered Game 6 of their Eastern Conference finals series against the New York Knicks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse looking to book a ticket to the 2025 NBA Finals. They have great support in the building from the thousands of fans in attendance cheering for them to finish off Jalen Brunson and company. And among those watching the game in person is none other than Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, who came to the game along with teammates Aliyah Boston and Lexie Hull. Clark has always cheered for the Pacers, who are a win away from eliminating the Knicks and joining the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2025 NBA Finals. The Thunder have already booked their spot in the grandest stage of the playoffs by taking care of business in the Western Conference finals through only five games versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Advertisement Caitlin Clark also has time to be present at the Pacers game since Indiana doesn't have a game on Saturday night. She is also nursing a left quad injury that has sidelined her for two straight games. The former Iowa Hawkeyes star guard is also not expected to see action anytime soon, as she's projected to miss multiple weeks. The Fever have clearly already felt her absence, as they have gone 0-2 without Caitlin Clark in the 2025 WNBA season, having lost to the Washington Mystics on the road last Wednesday and to the Connecticut Sun at home on Friday. In four games played so far in 2025, Clark has averaged 19.0 points, 9.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 40.3 percent from the field and 31.4 percent from behind the arc. At one point in the contest, Clark even did the Jalen Brunson celly after a 3-pointer by Tyrese Haliburton. Fans react to Caitlin Clark's presence in Knicks-Pacers Game 6 Emily Faith Morgan-Imagn Images Clark surely attracted plenty of attention from fans online, as she watched the Knicks and Pacers go at it in Game 6 of the conference finals. Advertisement 'Pacers are undefeated when CC is in the building. 🫡 Knicks,' shared a fan. 'Future MVP Caitlin Clark 👀,' another online commenter said. 'Love to see the squad supporting the Pacers! That's true team spirit right there. 🔥🏀,' posted a social media user on X (formerly Twitter). Via a different commenter: 'It looks like a family picture where all the Aunties and Uncles are in a good mood😂.' '@Pacerslet's get the ladies in their choice of Pacers yellow for the Finals home games,' one said. 'Best ladies 💯,' chimed in a fan.

Celebrities at Knicks-Pacers: Will Spike Lee attend Game 6 after McAfee rant? Show Caption Hide Caption Shaq gives thoughts on a possible Pacers-Thunder 'small market' Finals Shaq joins Sports Seriously to give his thoughts on if a Pacers-Thunder NBA Finals would be too 'small market' for the league. Sports Seriously The Eastern Conference finals shifts back to Indianapolis for Game 6 on Saturday after the New York Knicks staved off elimination and defeated the Indiana Pacers 111-94 in Game 5 at home. Can the Knicks avoid elimination again and force Game 7 at Madison Square Garden? They will have numerous famous faces in the building that hope so. A contingent of Knicks superfans made the journey from New York to Indiana for Game 4, when the Pacers took a 3-1 series lead over the New York on Tuesday. To add insult to injury, Knicks fans Timothée Chalamet, Spike Lee and Ben Stiller received a less than warm welcome at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. ESPN personality and former Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee gave the trio a WWE style, expletive-filled lashing and encouraged Indiana fans to boo the stars. Hall of Fame singer-songwriter John Mellencamp was not a fan. (More on that below). The Indiana Fever are also home for the weekend ahead of their matchup against the Washington Mystics on Tuesday. Will Caitlin Clark make an appearance? (Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers were in the building for the Fever's opening night win over the Chicago Sky on May 17.) Will Lee, Stiller and Chalamet travel to Indiana again? Will Clark show up at Gainbridge Fieldhouse? We got you covered. USA TODAY Sports is tracking all the celebrities at Game 6 in Indianapolis: CELEBS IN NEW YORK: Spike Lee, Mariska Hargitay, more celebrate Knicks' Game 5 win vs. Pacers MORE: John Mellencamp 'embarrassed' by Pat McAfee calling out Knicks celebrities at Pacers game What time is Pacers vs. Knicks today? The Indiana Pacers will host the New York Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The game is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET.

'I was embarrassed when somebody, under whose direction I don't know, called out some of the people who had made the trip from New York to support their team — and in turn, support our team," Mellencamp wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "The audience booed these people. I'd say that was not Hoosier Hospitality. One could only say it's poor, poor sportsmanship. I was not proud to be a Hoosier, and I've lived here my entire life." Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals brought out a variety of celebrities to Madison Square Garden, ranging from Knicks legends (Patrick Ewing, Walt "Clyde" Frazier and Bill Bradley) to comedians (Tracy Morgan), actors (Timothée Chalamet, Susie Essman, Ben Stiller, Mariska Hargitay and Spike Lee), musicians (Shaboozey, Idina Menzel and Joey Badass) and world-class athletes (Michael Strahan, Kevin Love and Henrik Lundqvist).

The ABA roots of New York-Indiana basketball feud
INDIANAPOLIS — You know all about Knicks-Pacers. Oh, boy, do you know about Knicks-Pacers. If you are a regular reader of this column and this sports section — well, first of all, thank you. Second of all, you know that Pacers-Knicks is sort of like a best-of-55 series (with No. 55 Saturday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, where the Knicks and Pacers meet for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals). So you know Knicks-Pacers. You've got that down. Advertisement But you don't have the complete story of New York-Indiana. Because for that, you need to go back in time 21 years before the Knicks and Pacers ever met in a playoff series, you need to rewind from 1993 all the way back to 1972, in order to do that. You know how Rick Carlisle has said, stone-faced, that he expects this Knicks-Pacers series to be a 13-day challenge (Saturday being Day 11)?
