As the WNBA season is coming closer, Caitlin Clark is making the headlines once again. Recently, she debuted on NBC, which garnered a huge response. Unfortunately, with the CBA deals not looking very promising, the air around the WNBA has been quite heavy.
Commenting on the same, Clark sent a strong message to the authorities. But as it turns out, the Indiana Fever star is not only interested in the female basketball news. Dropping an exciting prediction, the face of the WNBA had a bold NBA prediction for the next season.
Caitlin Clark Excited About Ivica Zubac Trade
The Indiana Pacers did not have a solid run this season. Struggling to find their footing in the league, the franchise opted to add some quality and depth to the roster. And with the trade deadline ongoing, the Pacers found themselves an interesting deal.
In a recent update, it was reported that Indiana has acquired Ivica Zubac from the Los Angeles Clippers. And this made Clark very excited. So much so that the 24-year-old was certain that the Pacers’ future would be pretty promising with the inclusion of Zubac.
Moments after the trade news was confirmed, Clark took to her X, formerly known as Twitter account, and wrote, “Pacers 2027 world champions.”

Now then, the trade looks quite promising for the Pacers. But in order to rope in Zubac, Indiana had to send Bennedict Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson, a protected 2026 first-round pick, an unprotected 2029 first-round pick, and a second-round pick to the Clippers. Meanwhile, apart from commenting on the Pacers, Clark also revealed which NBA star has impressed her the most.
Caitlin Clark Heaps Praises On Luka Doncic’s Tactical Play
Clark has always been quite vocal with her NBA choices. Only recently, she had a fun banter with Stephen Curry after she called the Warriors’ star’s full-court shot as ‘AI.’ However, when it comes to being a fan, Clark is loyal to LeBron James. But surprisingly, it looks like a new name has caught the Fever star’s attention.
Speaking about Luka Doncic, Clark said, “Luka’s amazing. He’s incredible. I think the way he can not only score the ball but also the way he passes. He’s not always the fastest, he’s not the most athletic, but he can make a defender move to where he wants him to go. He does a really good job of keeping the defender behind him or to the side. That’s something I can certainly learn from.”
