Overview
- Caitlin Clark, appearing on NBC’s studio show Sunday, called Nikola Jokic her favorite player to watch and the best player in the world while breaking down his passing and triple‑double pace.
- After Denver’s 116-93 win over the Warriors the same night, Jokic joked in his postgame presser that she said it because they share an agent, a nod to both being represented by Excel Sports Management.
- Clark used the segment to outline Indiana Fever business, saying the team’s first priority in free agency is re‑signing All‑WNBA guard Kelsey Mitchell during a compressed offseason created by the new WNBA CBA.
- Her growing media footprint also includes working the Pacers–Lakers game last week as a credentialed photographer and calling LeBron James her GOAT, with her images and comments spreading widely online.
- Context on Jokic’s season helps explain the reaction, as he is averaging roughly 27.9 points, 12.8–12.9 rebounds, and 10.8 assists and led Denver to a sixth straight win with a 25-15-8 line on Sunday.
