Caitlin Clark has four words to say about the Indiana Pacers at the NBA trade deadline

The Indiana Pacers are thinking about the 2026-27 season now.

They traded Bennedict Mathurin and Isaiah Jackson to the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, Jan. 5, for center Ivica Zubac and wing Kobe Brown.

The grades are generally (but not universally) positive, but one interested observer makes a bold prediction: Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark posted on social media “Pacers 2027 world champions.”

Clark has been part of the NBA conversation recently, making a guest appearance on NBC’s “Basketball Night in America” before a New York Knicks–Los Angeles Lakers game last weekend.

She has developed a friendship with Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton, and her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, used to work for the Pacers before becoming a Butler assistant coach.
