Tyrese Maxey, the Philadelphia 76ers star, admitted he really tried to keep his cool when he first met Indiana Fever sensation Caitlin Clark in person, even calling her “cold” and “nice.” The meet-up happened just before the Sixers snagged a 114-109 road win against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.
A Starstruck Encounter Before a Big Win
Maxey didn’t hold back, telling WISH-TV News after the game, “That’s just, shoot, another person that I like to watch. She cold. She’s nice.” It’s not every day you hear an NBA star admitting he had to actively *try* not to act like a fan. Maxey made it clear, “Seeing her today was really cool. Sometimes you try not to fan out, but it was really cool seeing her.” Clark was courtside for the tight game, soaking in the action. Later, photos even showed her chatting it up with none other than LeBron James, showing just how much star power was packed into one arena.
Clark’s Historic Run Continues to Turn Heads
It’s no surprise Maxey was a little starstruck. Clark’s appearance at the NBA game comes right on the heels of her and Kelsey Mitchell making history for the Indiana Fever. They became the first duo from the franchise to both land spots on the All-WNBA First Team. And if that wasn’t enough, Clark herself pulled off something no one else in WNBA history has done: recording more than 800 points and 300 assists in a single season.
The 76ers got that key road win against the Pacers to kick off their early NBA season, showing they mean business. Meanwhile, Clark’s incredible run just keeps adding to her legend, captivating fans and fellow athletes across the entire sports world.
