Caitlin Clark had a special guest come to her Indiana Fever home debut in Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Thursday night.

Watching her former Iowa women’s basketball teammate compete in a WNBA preseason game against the Atlanta Dream was five-year Hawkeye guard Gabbie Marshall. She donned a Clark No. 22 T-shirt jersey in Indiana’s alternative red-and-white color scheme.

The four-year backcourt tandem then reunited postgame for a hug and some pictures.

“It’s just special, obviously, having her here. It’s somebody that I started all four years at Iowa with and has been one of my best friends throughout over the course of the last four years,” Clark said of Marshall. “Just special. I told her I loved her and she said the same, and she had so much fun coming and supporting tonight. I’m sure she’ll be at a few games this season for us.

“It’s weird being on the court without her, but it was fun having her there and seeing her smile and enjoying that moment with her.”

Clark finished with 12 points, eight rebounds and six assists on 4-for-12 shooting with six turnovers en route to an 83-80 Fever win. It was the team’s final exhibition before its season opener at the Connecticut Sun at 6:30 p.m. CT on Tuesday, May 14, on ESPN2, ESPN+ and Disney+.

 

Marshall will continue to be a fan moving forward as her college career is over and she prepares to study occupational therapy at the University of North Carolina.
