Fever star Caitlin Clark admits security risk of New York plan

.aitlin Clark is fascinated by the passion of New York Knicks fans in the current NBA Finals.

Clark and the Indiana Fever were in New York on Saturday for their second game at the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup.

The elite playmaker discussed the current situation in the city and how fans are going crazy about the Knicks’ current NBA Finals run against the San Antonio Spurs.

“I’ve definitely watched games, and I’m a fan of basketball, so I love great games,” Clark said during her pre-game media availability.

Currently, New York is up 2-0 against the Spurs and will now head back home to Madison Square Garden, but Clark hopes the series will stretch to seven games.

“I don’t want the Knicks to sweep it. I’m kind of indifferent on who wins, but I’m such a basketball fan that I would love to see a good seven-game series,” she said. “It’s just because I love it, and I think it’s been such a great series.”

Clark mentioned last year’s finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers, during which she gained valuable basketball knowledge.

“Even the Pacers beating out the Thunder, I think it was incredible, too,” she said. “I’m a fan of basketball, and I think even watching it, you can learn so much. I try to absorb as much as I can.”

But several Knicks fans were arrested after their Game 2 road win, raising security concerns among local authorities.

Caitlin Clark wants to experience Knicks frenzy

The former Iowa star, though, was still impressed with how nuts fans are about their team’s success.

“I was out to dinner last night. And it was fun to just see the buzz around the city and how passionate fans are,” Clark recalled.

Clark even mentioned that she wants to be in the thick of the celebrations with fans to see them up close, but she doubts her chances of getting the green light to do so.

“I was joking with Lexie,” Clark said. “I’m like, ‘Man, we should have gone right outside MSG after they won.’ I always want to see those people jumping around on each other and climbing light poles.

“I feel like that would be an experience, I don’t know if my security guy would let me do that, but I want to experience it because those Knicks fans are so passionate and crazy. I admire it. It’s pretty awesome.”

Clark and the Fever suffered defeat on Saturday. They fell to the New York Liberty, 83-75.
