Caitlin Clark<\/a> is adding to her resume before she begins playing in the 2026 WNBA season as she\u2019ll join NBC as a \u201cspecial contributor.\u201d The company announced<\/a> the women\u2019s basketball star will join the network Sunday for their coverage of the New York Knicks and Oklahoma City Thunder.<\/p>\n

Tip off is set for 7:30 p.m. ET in Oklahoma City as the defending champs play host. The Thunder sport a 58-16 record while the Knicks are an impressive 48-26. This is also not the first time Clark\u2019s been part of television coverage, having done the same for a Knicks-Lakers game in February.<\/p>\n

Clark recently had another side quest as a photographer for the Indiana Pacers\u2019 digital team. She captured plenty of photos of LeBron James<\/a>. They were impressive to boot!<\/a><\/p>\n

While James never seemed to address Clark\u2019s presence, his teammate Luka Doncic<\/a> did. Although he never saw Clark snapping photos and admitted he doesn\u2019t have an off-court friendship with the Fever star, he\u2019s a big fan.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot really much,\u201d Doncic said of his relationship with the Fever superstar. \u201cBut, I\u2019m a big fan. I watch a lot of games. Definitely her hooping is great to watch. For sure, got to go to one game to see her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apparently, Clark blended in perfectly with her surroundings, and no one on the Lakers even noticed she was the one taking photos of them all game. In fairness to the Lakers, how often is the photog a college basketball legend and WNBA superstar?<\/p>\n

Clark will return to the WNBA after a sophomore season cut short by injuries. She was part of many Indiana Fever players who didn\u2019t make it to the final game of the season \u2014 a game 5 semifinals loss to the eventual champion Las Vegas Aces.<\/p>\n

Her season ended much earlier than that game. Her last game was played in July. Now, she\u2019s healthy and ready for her third year. Perhaps Donic nd James can return the favor and snap a few photos of Clark when she returns to action in May.<\/p>\n
