Caitlin Clark unfortunately had her season cut short this year due to injury<\/a> and while this has stopped her from showing out on the court recently, she also hasn\u2019t necessarily enjoyed much free time either.<\/p>\n

Even if it was only as a spectator, Clark was still greatly invested in the Indiana Fever\u2019s playoff run where they narrowly missed out on a spot in the WNBA<\/a> Finals after going down to the Las Vegas Aces in five games. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Not to mention her name being thrown around<\/a> amidst all the recent talk about whether Commissioner Cathy Engelbert<\/a> and league leadership truly values its\u2019 players. \u00a0<\/p>\n

With all that going on, it can be good to take some time to remember to laugh at yourself and just laugh a little in general.<\/p>\n

Thankfully for Caitlin, Adam Sandler was in town and going to one of his shows is probably a pretty good way to have a night filled with laughs. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Sandler is currently in the middle of his \u2018You\u2019re My Best Friend\u2019 Comedy Tour<\/a> around the United States and Canada, and he recently performed at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis where he took some time to meet up with Clark.<\/p>\n

Sandler has starred in many films about sports, so perhaps that was one of the topics he and Caitlin discussed.<\/p>\n

So maybe they talked about what it was like playing an NBA scout on \u2018Hustle.\u2019 Or what it was like playing an ex-NFL quarterback on \u2018The Longest Yard,\u2019 or taking on the role of a hockey player turned golfer in \u2018Happy Gilmore.\u2019 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Or maybe they had a lengthy, detailed discussion about all the reasons that make water so much better than Gatorade. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Either way, even when you\u2019re one of the most popular and famous players in basketball, linking up with a comedy legend like Adam Sandler sure is pretty cool.<\/p>\n
