Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever teammate Natasha Howard reacted to a jaw-dropping dribbling sequence by Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton on Friday. During the Pacers' 119-112 win over the LA Clippers on Thursday, Haliburton delivered a highlight-worthy moment, showcasing his elite ball-handling skills by dropping two defenders to the floor.
The play unfolded with 13.8 seconds left in the fourth quarter when Norman Powell and Derrick Jones Jr. attempted to either steal the ball or foul Haliburton. The Pacers' point guard skillfully changed direction, shaking off both defenders and breaking free into the frontcourt.
In a stunning display of footwork, the Paris Olympics gold medalist left Powell and Jones Jr. stumbling on the floor, sending the basketball world into a frenzy as the video quickly went viral.
Meanwhile, Natasha Howard, one of the Fever’s newest additions and Caitlin Clark’s teammate, also reacted to Haliburton’s dazzling move. She shared the viral clip on her Instagram story, using two emojis to sum up her reaction.
Howard recently joined the Indiana Fever in free agency, signing a one-year, $214,666 contract. The three-time WNBA champion is set to team up with Caitlin Clark for the 2025 WNBA season, adding a wealth of experience to the roster.
Howard’s arrival is expected to be a major boost for the Fever next season. With her veteran leadership, championship pedigree and all-around skill set, Indiana is counting on her to play a key role in their pursuit of success.
