With Travis Scott's Fein playing in the background, the person who shared the video claimed that Clark was encouraging the younger fans to cheer for Indiana. Hindustan Times has not been able to verify if this is indeed what the Fever star was saying.
However, fans seemed to love it, with one commenting on X “CC out here being a menace as per usual. I am here for it.” Another noted, “Kids love her.”
A third clip from the sidelines showed Clark in conversation with team coach Stephanie White. The two seem engaged in an intense conversation with some fans praising the positive relationship between player and coach.
Clark has been in recovery mode since July and has previously missed time due to two different muscle injuries. The 23-year-old hurt her left quad in May. Presently, Clark's status is day-to-day, and no timetable has been set for her return. Fever end their campaign on September 11. Clark, in 13 games this year, averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, and 5.0 rebounds.
Indiana Fever will next take on Seattle Storm, and the game is on August 27.
