Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has had a busy windup heading into her first WNBA season, especially with all the hype surrounding his entry into the league following a decorated collegiate career with Iowa.

Among the events Clark missed was her graduation from the University of Iowa, where she took up marketing, specializing in professional sales and management. But Clark's teammates with the Fever made sure she still somehow got to experience her walk to receive her “diploma.”

Prior to the start of the team's final day at training camp, Aliyah Boston and the rest of the Indiana Fever players and staff formed a graduation march tunnel for Caitlin Clark, the team posted on social media network X, formerly known as Twitter. At the end of the tunnel, Caitlin Clark received a “diploma” from Boston for her graduation from Iowa.

Clark approved the team's simple gesture with a thumbs up, with her Fever teammates and staff letting out cheers for the fresh graduate and rising WNBA star.

“I think more than anything just soak in the moment,” Clark continued. “We’re gonna play on the biggest stage, there’s going to be a lot of people there, it’s going to be loud, but you only play your first WNBA game once. So I think just enjoy it.”

Clark is not taking the Sun lightly, as she is ready for the task ahead against last season's third-seed, and second best, in a competitive Eastern Conference.

“I think [to] just enjoy it and it's going to be competitive, they're [Connecticut Sun] really good, so you gotta prep[are] the right way too. But more than anything, we're ready for the challenge.”

In her preseason home debut Thursday, Clark had 12 points, eight rebounds, and six assists in the Fever's 83-80 win over the Atlanta Dream.

The Fever's season debut against the Sun will take place Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. ET, at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
