Caitlin Clark is joining a new team.
NBC has tapped the star Indiana Fever guard to be a special contributor for its NBA coverage this season, with Clark set to make her pregame debut on Feb. 1, when the Knicks host the Lakers at Madison Square Garden for the debut of “Sunday Night Basketball.”
“I’m really excited to be part of the ‘Basketball Night in America’ crew this season,” Clark said Tuesday in a statement.
“Carmelo [Anthony], Vince [Carter], and Tracy [McGrady] are legends of the game and Maria [Taylor] is a true professional. It will be really fun to join them a few times this season.”
In addition to the Lakers-Knicks clash at MSG, Clark will also be featured on the program March 29, when the reigning champion Thunder host the Knicks at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City.
It’s shaping up to be a busy start to the year for Clark, who is entering her third WNBA season.
Selected first overall out of Iowa in 2024, Clark played in 40 games her rookie season, earning All-Star and All-Rookie Team nods. She was also named Rookie of the Year after averaging 19.2 points per game, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists.
Injuries derailed Clark’s sophomore campaign, as she grappled with left quad and left groin issues early in the year. She sustained a right groin injury in July and suffered a bone bruise to her left ankle during a workout the following month.
Clark, 24, was shut down for the season in September.
Across 13 games in 2025, Clark averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 8.8 assists.
The Fever reached the semifinals of the playoffs before losing in five games to the eventual champion Aces.
Indiana opens the season at home on Saturday, May 9, against Dallas — assuming the league and players union strike a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement.
