WNBA Rookie of the Year favorite Caitlin Clark broke the league record for three-pointers by a first-year player during the Indiana Fever's win over the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday.
And a special guest was on hand to watch Clark and the Fever win a second straight game amid their playoff push: American superstar gymnast Simone Biles.
The seven-time Olympic gold medalist said the game in Indianapolis marked the first time she attended WNBA action in person.

“The team was thrilled to meet Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas after our win at @GainbridgeFH. The reactions,” Fever wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, and its other social media platforms.
At the end of the video, Biles compared the interaction she had with WNBA players to what she previously encountered with male athletes.
“They were so excited. Oh my gosh. Normally, the kid would walk by and say 'yes.' But they were so excited, it was so cool,” Biles said.

Biles later took to social media and expressed her excitement about the growth of women's sports.
“EVERYONE WATCHES WOMEN'S SPORTS so I'm happy to be able to go support them. This is the first of many WNBA games,” she wrote on X.
Meanwhile, Thomas also hinted that she was looking forward to attending another WNBA game in the future. “First WNBA game of many! Had so much fun rooting for these stars,” Thomas wrote on X.
