Caitlin Clark's Courtside Presence Linked to Pacers' Playoff Success

The Indiana Pacers secured a significant victory over the New York Knicks on May 31, winning 125-108 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. This triumph propelled them to the 2025 NBA Finals, where they are set to compete against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The atmosphere at Indiana's Gainbridge Fieldhouse was electric, as fans eagerly supported their team's first journey to the NBA Finals since the year 2000. The Pacers share this home arena with the WNBA's Indiana Fever.

Notably present at the decisive Game 6 were Indiana Fever stars Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Lexie Hull, who were seated courtside to cheer on the Pacers. This was not an isolated appearance for Clark, who has become a regular fixture at Pacers' home games throughout the 2025 playoffs. In fact, this marked her seventh attended game.

A fascinating statistic has emerged from Clark's consistent support: according to a post from @StatMamba, the Indiana Pacers boast an undefeated 7-0 record in their 2025 NBA Playoff games when Caitlin Clark has been in attendance. This has led to her being dubbed the Pacers' 'undefeated courtside MVP' and a 'powerful playoff lucky charm' by some fans and commentators.

While the Pacers celebrate their success, the Indiana Fever have faced recent challenges, losing their last two games. This is partly due to Caitlin Clark being sidelined with a left quad strain, confining her to the bench. Despite her injury, Clark has been actively engaging with fans, signing autographs, and fulfilling her role as an ambassador for the growing WNBA audience. Her performance in her first four WNBA games was impressive, averaging 19.0 points, 9.3 assists, and 6.0 rebounds.

There is good news regarding Clark's injury, as she seems likely to return to play sooner rather than later. For Pacers fans, her potential availability to attend the NBA Finals games is a point of interest, especially given the team's perfect record with her courtside. With the NBA Finals schedule not conflicting with the Fever's upcoming games, the hope is that Clark can continue her supportive presence, and perhaps, extend the Pacers' winning streak.
