Watch: Caitlin Clark dons an apron at Tyrese Haliburton’s Thanksgiving initiative

Indiana Fever and Indiana Pacers stars Caitlin Clark and Tyrese Haliburton teamed up for the latter's annual "Come to Our House Season of Giving Dinner" on Monday. During the Thanksgiving initiative, Clark donned an apron as she and several WNBA and NBA representatives passed out food to locals experiencing homelessness.

This year marked Haliburton's third straight as host of the event, which is in its 27th year. It took place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, with US Foods and the Pacers Foundation serving as sponsors.

Clark was joined by her Fever teammate Lexie Hull and assistant coach Karima Christmas-Kelly. Meanwhile, the Pacers were represented by players Obi Toppin and Aaron Nesmith, and coach Rick Carlisle.

On Monday evening, the Fever and others shared clips on X/Twitter of Clark and Co. wearing aprons while dispersing food to the 700-plus invitees.

Clark and Haliburton have developed a tight friendship over the past six months, regularly supporting each other's endeavors. So, Clark's appearance likely wasn't too big of a surprise for Indiana residents.

Clark also supported Haliburton during the Pacers' 132-121 Sunday home victory over the New York Knicks.

Moreover, the Indiana stars both attended the Butler Bulldogs men's basketball team's 85-65 Monday night victory over the Western Michigan Broncos.

Tyrese Haliburton on hosting Year 3 of his Thanksgiving initiative alongside Caitlin Clark and other WNBA and NBA representatives

During Monday's "Come to Our House Season of Giving Dinner," Tyrese Haliburton touched on the initiative's magnitude. He also expressed gratitude to be able to host the event again alongside Caitlin Clark and other Indiana basketball representatives.

"It means the world," Haliburton said. "Obviously, this is something that started 27 years ago, so it's much bigger than me or my teammates.
"This is something that has lived beyond the guys who started this and will live beyond us doing this, but we're just blessed to be here in this moment and be a part of it. This is my third year a part of it, and it honestly means the world that the organization let me be a part of this," he continued.

The two-time All-Star added that he always looks forward to giving back to his local community.

"So, every year, this is my favorite event because it really puts things in perspective, and we get to see some happy faces," Haliburton said.

Haliburton and the Pacers (5-5) return to action on Wednesday on the road against the Orlando Magic (5-6).
