Did Caitlin Clark really meet LeBron James? Examining viral rumors

WNBA star Caitlin Clark reportedly had the opportunity to interact with LA Lakers star LeBron James when the Lakers took on the Indiana Pacers on March 26, while Clark was in attendance at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Although the Indiana Fever star was there to support the Pacers, she witnessed the Purple and Gold take a 120-119 victory after LeBron hit a buzzer-beating putback.

Pacers and Fever beat writer Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files reported that Clark met up with James after the game. However, there is no physical evidence as to how and where it took place.

"Caitlin Clark was in a suite for the game with her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery," Agness wrote. "After the game, James met with Clark — also a Nike athlete — for the first time, outside of the Lakers’ locker room, per league sources."

There are also no details explaining why the two basketball stars interacted. It can be assumed that it was either for business reasons or simply a case of a young basketball star meeting her idol and trying to get some advice from a seasoned veteran.
