150-Foot Caitlin Clark Banner Put Up by Gatorade Ahead of Fever Star's Home Debut

Ahead of her home debut for the Indiana Fever against the New York Liberty on Thursday, Caitlin Clark received a big welcome to the city of Indianapolis.

Gatorade installed a 150-foot banner on the side of the Hyatt Regency in downtown Indianapolis to commemorate Clark's first home game:

Clark signed an endorsement deal with Gatorade during her senior season at Iowa this past December. Gatorade donated $22,000 to the Caitlin Clark Foundation as part of the deal.

In addition to the banner, Gatorade also released a new commercial featuring Clark earlier this week:

Clark is hoping to bounce back from a lackluster performance in Indiana's season-opening 92-71 loss to the Connecticut Sun in which she finished with 20 points on 5-of-15 shooting with 10 turnovers.

The Fever will face a tough test against the Liberty, who opened the year with an 85-80 win over the Washington Mystic and are chasing a second straight trip to the WNBA Finals.
