Indiana Fever star rookie Caitlin Clark made the day of her fellow teammate special on her birthday. Clark sang a ‘happy birthday’ song to her fellow rookie Celeste Taylor in front of all the Fever squad members present in the practice gym.

Indiana Fever’s official Instagram account posted a video of this interaction on their account. At the beginning of the video, the Fever players can be seen standing in a circle formation with Clark inside it. The star rookie was singing the happy birthday song to Celeste Taylor, who was standing right in front of her. The other teammates hyped up Clark and joined her for the chorus of the song.

Later in the video, the Fever players can be seen having fun and playing mini-games together to commemorate Taylor’s birthday. They formed two parallel lines and the rookie ran back and forth between them with a basketball in hand. The other players tried to hit her in the back as she moved past them and Taylor tried to evade them.

Unlike Caitlin Clark, the former Ohio State player Celeste Taylor is getting the proper rookie treatment at Fever. She is mostly assigned to a bench role where she observes her teammates getting the job done on the court. She has hardly had any game time and is averaging 0.8 points and 0.3 assists this season.
