Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever have been playing in front of large crowds all season.
But Tuesday's game included two former Colts star players reuniting to watch two of the most exciting WNBA rookies, with Clark and the Fever taking on the Los Angeles Sparks and Cameron Brink.
Former Colts WR T.Y. Hilton and LB Shaquile Leonard, previously known as Darius, are seen in the tweet above, sitting next to each other.
The Colts' personal X (formerly known as Twitter) account also shared that current Colts LB Zaire Franklin and S Nick Cross were in attendance.
Hilton being in Indianapolis isn't all that shocking. He was out of the NFL last season after finishing the 2022-2023 season with the Dallas Cowboys. He spent the year supporting his son Eugene Hilton Jr., who is about to finish his junior year at Zionsville Community High School in Indiana.
Leonard, on the other hand, is more of a shock. The Colts shocked the NFL world by releasing the former All-Pro LB last season. He finished the year with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he appeared in five games and recorded 23 total tackles, two tackles for loss, and one sack.
Leonard was returning from a unique nerve injury and noticeably didn't look like the explosive player fans had grown to love in Indianapolis. Sadly, the injury seemed to have taken a toll on the former All-Pro as his snap count began to dwindle even before the team released him. Here is an interview during last season where Leonard shared his frustrations on his limited role.
The team officially released him on November 21st, 2023. That same day, he still showed up at his scheduled charity event for his Maniac Foundation to hand out turkeys to people in the community, with Thanksgiving around the corner. He also went on to attend the next Colts home game following his release, where he was shown in a press box and was shown on the jumbotron, where he was met with loud cheers from the fans in attendance.
