Aubrey Plaza showed no mercy to Fever star Caitlin Clark

Hollywood star Aubrey Plaza joined Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever in a recent practice session. The unexpected crossover was part of a promotional spot for NBC and Peacock’s coverage of the WNBA.

Plaza, who is currently six or seven months pregnant, is known for her deadpan comedy style, and she brought that same energy to practice. She also showed no mercy to Clark as the two engaged in some hilarious on-court banter.

To start, Plaza noted that the Fever guard has “unlimited range,” before suggesting that this may be nothing more than “maybe just a cardio avoidance tactic.”

The two then battled in a quick game of one-on-one. Clark missed a deep three-point attempt, which promoted some savagery from the 41-year-old actress.

“Whoa, brick,” Plaza teased. “Hey, do you have any more bricks? I was trying to make a brick house for my baby.”

Caitlin Clark, Fever looking to keep momentum going

Clark and the Fever are coming of a successful four-game road trip where they went 3-1. The three-time All-Star missed two out of those four games due to a back injury, but she was able to take the court in Sunday’s 109-75 blowout win over the Las Vegas Aces.

Clark was on a minutes restriction, but she still managed to make a significant impact in the game. The 24-year-old rgeistered 12 points, seven rebounds and six assists in 24 minutes of action.

Clark is working her way back to full strength. She could still play limited minutes in their next game, but she’s likely going to take a heavier load. The Fever are back in action on Wednesday for a home matchup against the Golden State Valkyries. Tipoff from gainbridge Fieldhouse is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET.
