New Photo Shows Unexpected Caitlin Clark Twist in NBA Finals on Monday

The Oklahoma City Thunder are looking to take a 3-2 series lead over the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday. It's the Thunder who have momentum on their side after securing a win in Indiana in Game 4, and they now get to play in front of a capacity home crowd at Paycom Center for Game 5. 

More than a few Pacers fans are in attendance for Monday's clash in OKC, though. In fact, one supporter even wore a Caitlin Clark shirt while sitting courtside for the pivotal matchup. 

A photo of the said fan is currently making its rounds on social media as the NBA Finals suddenly took an unexpected Caitlin Clark twist. 

Clark, the cornerstone superstar of the Indiana Fever, has been avidly supporting the Pacers throughout their playoff run. She has attended Pacers home games multiple times during the postseason and, in fact, has been a bit of a lucky charm for the team. 

The Pacers were 8-0 in the NBA playoffs with Clark in attendance. That unbeaten record, however, came to an end in Game 4 as the Thunder secured a 111-104 victory at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Unfortunately for Clark and the Pacers, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year won't be able to attend Game 6 on Thursday, with the Fever scheduled to play the Golden State Valkyries also on Thursday in a road game. 

Regardless of her absence in Game 6, there's no doubt that Clark will be cheering for her Pacers in what could very well be the last game of the series.
