LAS VEGAS — As the Indiana Fever wrapped up shootaround on Tuesday morning, Caitlin Clark walked around, boxed WNBA basketball in hand, calling out for her teammates.
“Hey, did you sign the basketball?” she repeated to her teammates, making sure every one of them would sign it.
Then, the Fever gathered in the middle of the T-Mobile Arena court, posing for a picture. There was one special guest in the middle, clad in her own, customized Fever jersey. Smiling from ear to ear; 14-year-old Bailey Lux from Carroll, Iowa, took in the moment with her idIt’s been truly a spiritual uplifting,” Kraig Lux, Bailey’s dad, said. “She hasn’t stopped smiling. This is just one of those things that makes her incredibly happy, and we have to take advantage of that.”
Later that night, Bailey, Kraig, and three of her siblings sat courtside at T-Mobile Arena to watch the Las Vegas Aces and Indiana Fever play in front of a sold-out crowd.ols.
