TRENDING Week 9 Winners and Losers Bears beat Bucs, barely Lakers win without Luka Puka Nacua needs MRI AP Top 25 Story by Story by Indiana Fever React to Caitlin Clark's Moment on 'The Tonight Show' Angelo Guinhawa · Athlon Sports Sun, November 8, 2026 at 6:03 PM UTC · 2 min read About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark had a historic 2026 campaign, during which she became the first player in WNBA history to finish in the top three in both scoring and assists. She was third in the league in scoring with 22.3 points and second in assists with 8.3 dimes per game.
Unfortunately, Indiana was not able to make a deep run in the playoffs. The team lost to the Las Vegas Aces after forcing a do-or-die Game 3 in the first round.
While Indiana suffered an early exit, however, Clark continued to turn heads with her off-court activities amid the offseason. In fact, on Friday, she drew plenty of attention after she made an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."

During her interview, Clark went viral after participating in a cheeseball challenge with Fallon . The two tested how many cheeseballs the Fever guard could shoot into the host's mouth in 24 seconds. Apparently, the answer was 12, although she attempted 16 shots.
The Fever, for their part, saw Clark's cheeseball challenge video and absolutely loved the segment. In the comment section of the show's post, Indiana commented with one simple word.
Several other fans shared a similar reaction, with one even saying, "This is honestly hilarious and amazing work."
The Fever were really supportive of Clark in her appearance on the show, where she took the opportunity to promote her recently released children's book titled "EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams."
When the show posted a video of Clark heading to the stage, the team cheered and said, "let's go CC."
Clark is expected to make more public appearances as she continues to promote her shoes and book. Sure enough, fans can expect the Fever to continue showing support for their superstar.
