Fans might have had to blink twice to make sure that what they were seeing was real, as Caitlin Clark was recently spotted wielding a camera instead of a basketball at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
However, this wasn't Clark indulging in a hobby; the Indiana Fever star was one of the Pacers' credentialed photographers, capturing moments from the sideline during the game against the Lakers.
While she was seen taking pictures of Tyrese Haliburton and his fiancée, Joe Jade, before the game, Caitlin Clark notably captured images of LeBron James as he argued with referees during the first half. A recording of this moment has gone viral online.

And while Caitlin Clark has made sure that the masses are aware of her reverence for LeBron James, she left no room for doubt, as one of her Instagram stories read, "I got to shoot the King."
That being said, Caitlin Clark’s love for photography is well known within the basketball community. The star hooper also occasionally shares her work on Instagram while the Fever travels across the country.
Furthermore, her work behind the lens has earned a stamp of approval from photographer Bri Lewerke, who regularly covers Caitlin Clark and her team.
But this was not Clark's first rodeo as a photographer. She has been at it since last season, flexing her creative side from the sidelines due to a season-ending injury.
Meanwhile, social media did its thing after seeing Caitlin Clark and LeBron James under the same roof.
