Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever had some notable fans in the stands on Wednesday night.
11-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles, fresh off winning three gold and one silver medals at the Paris Games, and sprinter Gabrielle Thomas, who won three golds in Paris, were on hand to watch the Fever beat the Connecticut Sun 84-80.
After the game, an excited Fever squad met Biles and Thomas and posed for pictures with them, prompting both Olympians to comment on the experience.
