CAITLIN CLARK was spotted making a controversial gesture as she cheered on the Indiana Pacers.
The 23-year-old was sat courtside as the Pacers took a 2-1 NBA Finals lead over Oklahoma City Thunder.

Clark was seen in the front row at Gainbridge Fieldhouse alongside Indiana Fever team-mates Natasha Howard and Aliyah Boston.
During the second quarter, the WNBA guard shocked fans by producing the iconic choke gesture.
Clark had a big smile on her face as she put her hands around her neck.
The move was a nod to Reggie Miller, who famously used the taunt towards the New York Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals in 1994.
Miller locked eyes with Knicks superfan and film director Spike Lee when doing the celebration.
The legend had just scored 25 points as Indiana came from behind in the fourth quarter to win the game.
However, the Pacers went on to lose the series.
Tyrese Haliburton then brought back the taunt last month when he thought he had beaten the Knicks 126-125 with a last-gasp three-pointer.
But officials ruled that his toe was on the line, meaning it would count just two and overtime would be needed.
Despite the Pacers going on to win 138-135, fans were concerned Clark’s choke gesture would come back to bite them as it has done in the past.
One said: “This ain’t gonna age well.”
Another added: “If OKC win this…”
A third wrote: “She’s so funny.”
Clark is currently out injured with left quad strain sustained during the Fever’s 90-88 loss to the New York Liberty in May.
Fever head coach Stephanie White revealed on Monday that Clark is “ready to start ramping back up” ahead of a return.
