Amidst her busy schedule with the Indiana Fever, Caitlin Clark has found time to stay up-to-date with the 2026 NBA Finals. The New York Knicks lead the San Antonio Spurs 2-0 after taking both road games, but Clark does not want the series to end in four games.
She wants the finals to go the distance, but not because she’s rooting for San Antonio.
“I’m kind of indifferent on who wins, but I’m such a basketball fan that I would love to see it go seven games…It’s been such a great series,” Clark told reporters ahead of the Fever’s Saturday night matchup.
Clark, who is in New York City to lead the Fever against the Liberty, witnessed firsthand the excitement of the fanbase towards their hometown Knicks.
“I was out to dinner last night. It was fun to see the buzz around the city and how passionate fans are.”
As fate would have it, the two-time WNBA All-Star and her Fever squad were in the Big Apple on the night of Game 2 between the Knicks and the Spurs. Though the game was held in San Antonio, Knicks fans were abuzz as Jalen Brunson came up clutch once again to steer his team to a 2-0 series lead.
For Clark to get her wish, the Spurs will have to win twice at Madison Square Garden.
