Caitlin Clark Earns New Nickname From Indiana Fever

About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Despite the Indiana Fever's failure to make a deep run in the 2026 WNBA playoffs, superstar Caitlin Clark remains as popular as ever.

Clark averaged 22.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 40 games during the regular season. She was the first player in league history to finish in the top three in the WNBA in scoring and assists.

During the postseason, she put up 20.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 1.3 blocks in three games against the Las Vegas Aces in the first round. Unfortunately, her efforts were not enough to help the Fever advance.

Although the WNBA campaign is over, it hasn't stopped fans from showing love and support for Clark. That much was clear during the Indiana Pacers' game against the Denver Nuggets in Mexico City on Saturday.

While it was an NBA game, several fans showed up at the contest at Arena CDMX wearing Clark jerseys.

The Fever, for their part, took notice of the support Clark received during the game and shared several photos of the fans on social media. The team also took the opportunity to give their superstar a nickname that reflects her popularity beyond the United States.

"worldwide CC," the Fever wrote. The team added, "fans reppin' PG1 in Mexico City for the Pacers vs. Nuggets game."

Clark is undoubtedly one of the most popular players in the WNBA today, and some could argue that she's the biggest name in women's basketball.

The Fever playmaker was also recently named the most marketable WNBA player today, and her international popularity only further underscores why that's the case.
