Caitlin Clark Seen With Unlikely Ex-NBA Player After Playoff Game

On Friday night, the Indiana Fever's newest superstar, Caitlin Clark, made an appearance at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for the Indiana Pacers vs. the Milwaukee Bucks Game 3 of the NBA Playoffs.

The Pacers won on a last-second floater by star point guard Tyrese Haliburton in overtime, but it was the WNBA star who stole the show.

Clark was brought in to hype up the crowd before the game by revving the engine of the Pacers racecar. The fans loved it.

Before the game, Clark was seen having a conversation with an unlikely former NBA player, Metta Sandiford-Artest, known by many as Metta World Peace.

Formerly Ron Artest, World Peace only played for the Pacers for four seasons, which included his infamous Malice at the Palace. An appearance at the Pacers playoff game was a surprise by many, as he is more known for his time with the Lakers.

The Pacers posted a video of the two meeting for the first time on social media.

"Metta World Peace met up with Caitlin Clark before last night's game."

World Peace played for Indiana from 2002 to 2006. He won an NBA championship with the Lakers in 2010.
