The Olympic gymnast, 27, was live in attendance at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday, Aug 28, as the Indiana Fever scored an 84-80 victory over the Connecticut Sun.

While Clark, 22, had a powerful showing, scoring 19 points, five rebounds, and five assists, a 3-pointer early in the game, her 86th of the season. This broke the the WNBA’s rookie 3-point record previously held by Rhyne Howard.

She further commented on the encounter by sharing the video on X and writing, “EVERYONE WATCHES WOMENS SPORTS ?? so happy to be able to go support! My first of many WNBA games ??.”

Thomas also spoke out on X, writing, “First WNBA game of many! Had so much fun supporting these stars ??.”

So it shows you that you know you got to start working now if you want that to be your dream in four years,” she said. “So I think that’s just that’s it for me is like, you know, work hard, and hopefully you can be there.”
