Warriors star sitting courtside talks mid-game trash to Caitlin Clark during brutal Fever loss image

Caitlin Clark didn't have her best night on Thursday in Golden State.

The Indiana Fever superstar shot just 3-for-14, and her squad gave away a lead in falling to a lesser Valkyries team.

One Golden State star, Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski, enjoyed the show.

He was seated courtside, and he was quite engaged in the game.

A viral video shows Clark traveling before Podziemski leaps out of his seat to do the traveling motion alongside her as she runs back down the floor.

To Clark's credit, she just chuckled. It's not clear whether she was laughing at Podziemski, the call, the missed shot, the struggles of the night or something else, because there clearly were plenty of options.

Clark spoke pregame Thursday about how excited she was to play in Golden State because of her admiration for Stephen Curry.

But she didn't quite have Curry-level night. Even the greatest shooters ever have struggles occasionally.

Maybe the next time the Warriors play in Indiana, Clark should snag a courtside seat and make sure Podziemski gets a taste of his own medicine.
