Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark wrapped up her first training on Friday with Team USA basketball. The sharpshooter is at Duke in Durham, North Carolina, with other WNBA players and a few college standouts for a training camp. Clark could not resist checking NBA action after completing her workout.

The two-time WNBA All-Star reacted to Steph Curry’s mind-boggling heave from the tunnel entrance to the opposite rim at Chase Center. Clark wrote after seeing the almost unbelievable highlight:

“This has to be AI.”

The shot, though, wasn’t AI-generated. Curry, who often launches shots from that distance, drilled it. The home crowd, eagerly awaiting his pregame routine, reacted with cheers after the ball cleanly came through the net.

Caitlin Clark wasn’t the only spectator in disbelief. Many on social media also thought the highlight was edited, except that it wasn’t.

The Warriors first posted the clip before the NBA shared the same highlight. In roughly two hours, the video has over 2 million views combined. Steph Curry hyped himself up after missing five games due to a hamstring injury. The NBA’s social media team noted that the two-time MVP was “ready” for his return.

Caitlin Clark looks to get her “lungs back” following first day with Team USA

Caitlin Clark’s last WNBA game was on July 15 against the Connecticut Sun. Two months later, the Indiana Fever shut her down after vigorous attempts to return from a groin injury.

During her media availability on Friday, Clark responded when asked about her first day scrimmaging with Team USA:

“It just made me smile quite a bit. I really did kind of feel like myself out there. Just continuing to get my lungs back, but I felt like I was moving really well."

Clips of Clark doing drills, running plays and shooting from deep caused a sensation on social media. The fans who haven’t seen her play for months finally got a glimpse of what they had been missing.

In 2024, Caitlin Clark received an invitation to join the training camp for the Paris Olympics. Due to her Iowa commitments, she failed to link up with the other Team USA invitees. Clark was eventually left off the team that won the gold medal.

Clark will make her first appearance with the senior team if she makes the cut.
