Caitlin Clark Was in the Middle of the Reaction at WNBA All-Star Weekend When the LeBron News Hit

Caitlin Clark was at a press conference during the WNBA All-Star weekend when news broke that LeBron had chosen Philadelphia. His immediate reaction: he had just made his pitch to take her to Indiana. “It didn’t get to him soon enough.”

LeBron James is joining the Philadelphia 76ers, and Caitlin Clark learned it live while taking questions at the All-Star festivities in Chicago.

“I just dumped him on the Pacers! It didn’t get to him early,” he joked, per Scott Agness of the Fieldhouse Files. “The 76ers? Wow.”

He admitted where his heart really wanted him: “Selfishly, I wanted the Warriors because Steph and Bron would be completely crazy, but they have important skills in the 76ers, without a doubt, maybe, one of the favorites in the East now with the Knicks and, obviously, my Pacers.”

Clark said he will be preparing for more Philly games this fall, as James may end his career with the 76ers.
