Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark took to the pickleball court on Sunday alongside her peers.
Clark joined Fever teammates Erica Wheeler and Lexie Hull in a series of pickleball matches on Sunday. The three WNBA players faced off against each other as part of Wheeler’s charity pickleball tournament in Indianapolis.
“Pickleball has become one of my favorite hobbies to do when I am not playing basketball,” Wheeler wrote in a June 12 post on X. “I’ve met some amazing people just by joining the sport!”
Clark’s coming off a historic performance on Saturday, scoring 19 points and grabbing 12 rebounds while dishing out 13 assists in a win over the New York Liberty. She became the first rookie in WNBA history to record a triple-double.
She’s also averaging 16.1 points per game, the highest mark among all rookies this season (via WNBA.com). Clark, Wheeler, and Hull have helped the Fever win six of their past nine games, moving to 9-13 on the season as a whole.
The team’s recent success has moved Indiana into the final playoff spot in the association, although there are still 18 regular-season games remaining.
