The Indiana Fever celebrated their first win of the season on Friday night – which was the first professional win in Caitlin Clark’s career as well.
Clark put up a solid all-around performance with 11 points, ten rebounds, eight assists, four steals and a block in the 78-73 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks.
All the while, Iowa native Ashton Kutcher and his wife Mila Kunis were watching with their children on the sidelines.
During the game, Kutcher was seen extending his hand to Clark for a high five after she drained a shot.
After the win had been secured, the two Iowa natives embraced in celebration of the victory.

Reporters asked Clark about the interaction with the Hollywood A-lister after the game.
‘Yeah, he thinks he knows ball’, Clark joked. ‘I don’t know. We’ll have to play one-on-one.
‘But no, that’s a fellow Hawkeye, somebody that’s been very supportive of me over the course of my college career and now here.
‘And his kids were adorable. I gave him a little high five there after I made that first one, but he was encouraging me the whole game. So it’s fun to have him courtside. He’s the man.’
Clark continued, answering a question about how she’s evolved over the course of the first six games in her WNBA career.
‘I feel like I felt pretty comfortable over the course of the last couple of games, last few games, probably the last three or four,’ Clark shared. ‘I think just playing with a different energy about myself and confidence.
‘[I] just try to remind myself it’s not all about the scoring. It’s not all about the shots going in. How am I going to impact the game in other ways? And I thought I did a really good job in that area for this team tonight.’
Clark will have another road game against the defending champion Las Vegas Aces coming up next before playing the Sparks again at home.
