Klay Thompson recognizes a crucial 3-pointer when he sees it, and Indiana Fever freshman Caitlin Clark startled the Warriors star with one of her own Friday against the Los Angeles Sparks.
Thompson was in attendance for the Fever’s 78-73 victory over the Sparks, and the WNBA phenom’s logo triple in the fourth quarter helped Indiana earn its first win of the season — a familiar sight for the four-time NBA champion, who has hit plenty of clutch 3-pointers and plays alongside none other than Steph Curry.
Thompson’s arms raised in surprise is not uncommon in Dub Nation, as Curry has repeatedly left his fellow Splash Bro stunned. Clark, like Curry with the Warriors, is renowned as a scoring machine, having set numerous school and NCAA records in 3-point and scoring categories while attending Iowa.
Despite her team’s early-season troubles, Clark has taken the WNBA by storm, as have other rookies from the 2024 draft class. Thompson appears to be enjoying his offseason as he prepares for NBA free agency, with the four-time champion apparently linked to teams such as the Philadelphia 76ers and the Orlando Magic.
