Caitlin Clark, the star of the Indiana Fever, has a surprising pick for who she’d love to see courtside: Hollywood heartthrob Timothée Chalamet. After leading the Fever to a commanding win against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky, Clark revealed in a fun video that she’s aiming to get the “Dune” star to attend one of her games at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. With Clark’s growing influence and the WNBA’s rising global profile, could this wish become a reality? As Clark continues to make waves in the league, her star-studded connections may soon be closer than we think.

Caitlin Clark Reveals Which Hollywood Star She Wants to See at Indiana Fever Game the Most, and Her Answer Might Shock You

Caitlin Clark, the standout star of the Indiana Fever, has had a phenomenal start to her sophomore season, but it’s her recent answer about a Hollywood star that’s grabbing headlines. In a video posted by CBS Sports as part of their “We Need to Talk” program on Instagram, Clark was asked which celebrity she would most like to see courtside at a Fever game. Her surprising choice? Dune and Wonka actor Timothée Chalamet.

“Timothée Chalamet. I think we’re going to get him to a game. So, Timmy, he’ll be here,” Clark said with a confident smile, sparking immediate interest and speculation about the possibility of the young actor attending a WNBA game in the future.

Chalamet’s inclusion in Clark’s wish list is unexpected but fitting, as his career has skyrocketed in recent years. Known for his roles in critically acclaimed films, Chalamet has become a popular figure among younger generations, and his presence at a Fever game would surely bring even more attention to the league.

A-List Actors and Superstar Players: Who Else Made the List?

While Clark’s pick may have surprised some, other Indiana Fever players also named celebrities they would like to see courtside. Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston both chose another A-list actor, Michael B. Jordan, known for his roles in Creed and Black Panther. Jordan has long been a fan favorite, and his appearance at a WNBA game would undoubtedly generate buzz, especially given his extensive influence in both Hollywood and sports culture.

DeWanna Bonner’s choice, however, steered in a different direction—tennis legend Serena Williams. Williams, who recently became part-owner of the new WNBA team, the Toronto Tempo, is already deeply involved in women’s sports, making her an ideal figure to support the league and its athletes.

Caitlin Clark’s Impact on the WNBA: A Global Phenomenon

In just a short time, she has captured the hearts of fans around the world and become a global ambassador for the league. Thanks to her explosive performances on the court and her magnetic personality off it, Clark has elevated the WNBA’s visibility to unprecedented levels.

Last year, the WNBA saw a 48-percent increase in fan attendance, with 154 games selling out. Additionally, 22 games averaged at least one million viewers, a testament to Clark’s ability to bring new eyes to the sport.

Despite some lingering critics, notably from players like Angel Reese, the data speaks volumes about Clark’s impact on the WNBA’s growth. Her sophomore season, which just began five days ago, has already ignited excitement for what’s to come. Clark’s ability to draw both casual fans and dedicated basketball enthusiasts speaks to her talent and the increasing recognition of women’s sports.

The Fever’s Strong Start and Tough Loss to Atlanta Dream

While the Fever have enjoyed a strong start to the season, they faced a tough loss against the Atlanta Dream on May 20, 2025, falling just short in a 91-90 defeat. Despite Clark’s incredible effort, which included a double-digit scoring performance, the Fever couldn’t secure the win at home. The loss was a disappointing setback after their 93-58 victory over the Chicago Sky in their season opener. However, Clark’s performance continues to shine, and it’s clear that her leadership will be key as the Fever move forward.

The Fever are now preparing for their next game, which will be a continuation of their home-and-home series against the Atlanta Dream. The game will take place in Atlanta at State Farm Arena on May 22, with a tip-off at 7:30 p.m. EST. Following that, the Fever will return home to face the New York Liberty on May 24 at 1:00 p.m. EST.
