Indiana Fever veteran Erica Wheeler hosted a charity pickleball tournament on Sunday — and a couple of her WNBA teammates showed up to show their support.

Caitlin Clark, Lexie Hull, head coach Christie Sides and Indiana Fever legend Tamika Catchings all attended the event and participated in the charity tournament.

Photos and videos of the event are all over social media.

Wheeler took to social media to reflect on the event after its conclusion. The WNBA veteran used one word to describe her relationship with those who showed up to support.

“Family,” Wheeler wrote on X.

“Today is one of those days to where I sit inside the car for a second just thankful for everything in my life! My passion for giving back gets me every time! Like I really love to see people smile man! Really warms my heart!” Wheeler wrote in a follow-up post.

“You say whatever about me and call me whatever you want! (I don’t care either way ) But don’t ever come for my heart and how I treat people! I take pride in making people feel seen and happy when they around me!” she continued.
