The Indiana Fever roster isn’t just focused on racking up wins this WNBA season—they’re also dreaming of star-studded courtside support. Caitlin Clark, the team’s standout rookie and a former Iowa Hawkeyes phenom, recently shared her top pick for a celebrity guest: Hollywood heartthrob and avid basketball fan, Timothée Chalamet. When asked which star she’d like to see cheering from the sidelines, Clark didn’t hesitate. “Timothée Chalamet,” she said. “I think we’re going to get him to a game.”
Clark isn’t alone in her hopes. Her teammates have their own wish lists when it comes to celebrities they’d love to see courtside. Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston are both rooting for an appearance from actor Michael B. Jordan, known for his leading roles and undeniable charisma. Meanwhile, veteran forward DeWanna Bonner is hoping that tennis icon Serena Williams will show up to show her support. Lexie Hull added her own musical flair to the mix, saying she’s been vibing to Noah Kahan’s music and would love to see the “Stick Season” singer in the crowd—and maybe even performing after the game.
The excitement didn’t stop there. Sophie Cunningham threw out the ultimate celebrity couple request, naming Justin and Hailey Bieber as her dream guests. Natasha Howard, ever the style enthusiast, gave a shout-out to multitalented artist and performer Teyana Taylor. Clearly, the Fever players are hoping to turn their games into not just athletic events, but high-energy celebrity moments that bring even more attention to women’s basketball.
As for Chalamet, Clark might just get her wish. The Dune star is no stranger to basketball culture, having been spotted courtside at numerous New York Knicks playoff games this season. His Knicks fandom runs deep—he even won a fan contest for tickets while in high school. Most recently, Chalamet was seen enjoying Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals alongside comedic legend Ben Stiller. His consistent presence at NBA games makes him a likely candidate to show up for some WNBA action, especially with the Fever’s growing buzz and star power.
The Fever’s next home game is scheduled for May 22, where they’ll face off against the Atlanta Dream. While it’s yet to be seen whether any of the celebrities mentioned will actually take a courtside seat, the players’ enthusiasm highlights how much excitement is building around this season. From rising stars on the court to famous faces in the crowd, the Indiana Fever are quickly becoming a team to watch—both for their talent and their bold aspirations.
