Not even Tyrese Haliburton can reach Caitlin Clark's heights, Pacers star admits image

It's not news to Indiana Fever fans that Caitlin Clark is a different kind of basketball player, and apparently it's not news to Indiana Pacers players — namely Pascal Siakam.

While being interviewed by Frank Isola and Brian Scalabrine, Siakam was asked to choose between Clark and Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton. For Siakam, the call was easy to make.

Pascal Siakam was asked who owns Indiana basketball right now:

"Oh, man, that's-- Caitlin is a beast, man. They love her, so I'll probably say Caitlin Clark. I love Tyrese, but she's another level," Siakam explained.

Though Clark has been unable to play since injuring her left quadriceps in late May, she's been a consistent presence on the sidelines to support the Pacers throughout the NBA Playoffs. In fact, so far the Pacers have an 8-0 winning record when Clark shows up to games.
