The Indiana Pacers uploaded the reel on their Instagram account. They hyped the playmaking duo who are the crown jewel of basketball in the state at the moment.
Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers to their first Eastern Conference finals since 2014. They were swept by the Boston Celtics, but it was closer than what many think. Indiana was in control in three of the four games, but their inexperience showed when they couldn't close out the Celtics.
Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark has the Indiana Fever back to the WNBA playoffs for the first time since 2016. The Fever struggled early in the season before finding their rhythm two months into the campaign. They carried some momentum into the Olympic break, and it allowed them to improve their chemistry, leading to wins.
It has been a while since there was star power in both Indiana teams in the NBA and WNBA. The Pacers have their first legitimate star since Paul George, while the Fever found Clark eight years after Tamika Catchings retired.
Tyrese Haliburton to support Caitlin Clark and the Fever in the playoffs
Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are locked into the No. 6 seed for the 2024 WNBA playoffs.
They don't have homecourt advantage but have some momentum to make some noise in the postseason. They are likely to face the Connecticut Sun in the first round although there's a chance that it could be the Las Vegas Aces or Minnesota Lynx.
Regardless of their opponents, Tyrese Haliburton revealed on "The Pat McAfee Show" last week that he will be there to support the Fever.
"I'll be there. I mean, we're a young group. We're growing. Some playoff experience will be good. I'm cheering for us to win of course," Haliburton said. [12:49 - 12:57]
