Indianapolis, IN — The stars were out in full force last night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse — and not just on the court. WNBA sensations Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Natasha Howard were spotted courtside at the Indiana Pacers playoff showdown, turning heads and sparking buzz both in the arena and across social media.

Dressed in casual fits but commanding all the attention, the Indiana Fever trio sat together as cameras panned in and fans erupted in cheers. Caitlin Clark, still the biggest name in women’s basketball, waved to the crowd with her trademark poise. Next to her, rising star Aliyah Boston and veteran forward Natasha Howard completed a powerful Fever presence that was impossible to ignore.

While the appearance might’ve looked like just another off-day outing, insiders say the event was far from casual. WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert was also reportedly in the building, continuing her quiet but relentless mission to elevate the visibility of the league’s brightest talents.

Cathy Engelbert strikes again. Her calculated push to bridge the NBA and WNBA continues to bear fruit—bringing top WNBA players to NBA playoff games, where fans and media attention are at a peak. It’s a smart marketing strategy, and with names like Clark and Boston on display, it’s working.

Social media lit up the moment they appeared. “The Fever girls are in the building!” one Pacers fan tweeted, while another wrote, “Cathy knows exactly what she’s doing. WNBA taking notes from the NBA playbook.”

This public appearance comes amid a rocky start to the Fever’s WNBA season, where the team has struggled to find consistency. But this move was a reminder: the Fever are loaded with talent, marketability, and potential. The Pacers may be fighting in the playoffs, but the Fever are building something that goes beyond the court.

With Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston forming the foundation of a franchise—and Natasha Howard providing experience and grit—the Fever are still a work in progress. But nights like this help keep them in the spotlight, exactly where Cathy Engelbert wants them.

As the WNBA season heats up, don’t be surprised if you see more calculated moments like this one. The message is clear: the WNBA isn’t just showing up—they’re staying visible.

And Cathy? She’s pulling all the right strings.
