Candace Parker Notes Why She’d Sit At Caitlin Clark’s Theoretical Thanksgiving Table

Indiana Fever fans have a lot to be thankful for right now. After consistently being one of the WNBA’s worst teams for almost an entire decade, Indiana reached the WNBA Semifinals in 2025 and lost to the eventual champion Las Vegas Aces in a winner-take-all Game 5.

Perhaps even more impressive than the 2025 season finale was how the Fever made it this far without Caitlin Clarke on the court, as she was sidelined with a groin injury. Given that Clark (along with several other key Fever players) was not able to make a long-term impact, many thought the Fever would not reach the playoffs, let alone come within one game of the WNBA Finals.

Despite this, fans can turn their attention to the future, where Clarke and Aliyah will remain under contract to Boston. This should guarantee that the Fever will be a top free agency destination this winter and make them a formidable force in 2026 (given that a new CBA is ratified before then).

That’s why Fever fans definitely felt good when they sat down to Thanksgiving dinner on November 27.

Candace Parker shares hilarious Thanksgiving table stance

Aliyah Boston does a podcast with WNBA legend Candace Parker called post movesOn its November 26 episode, the duo’s producers created a theoretical list of six Thanksgiving tables, each featuring four current or former WNBA players, Boston and Parker were then asked to choose which table they would like to sit at at Thanksgiving,

When it came to Parker’s choice, she chose a table that included women’s basketball legends Cheryl Miller and Sue Bird, UConn Huskies star guard Azie Fudd and Caitlin Clark.

When asked why she came to this decision, Parker said, “I’m interested in history, and philosophical conversations, and conversations about aliens, and all those things. So I’m going with table number 3.”

He then added, “I feel like those discussions… Sue definitely talks about aliens. Cheryl Miller, 100% philosophical. Aw, you know, she’s a mature, college student.”

It seemed as if Parker was about to talk about Clark when Boston interrupted and said she would sit at table No. 2, which included Diana Taurasi, Sydney Colson, A’ja Wilson and Cameron Brink.

Tables numbers 2 and 3 were popular choices among fans who replied in the comments section, although many chose number 3 because they just wanted to share a meal with Clark.
