When Caitlin Clark made a layup and was fouled by Angel Reese on Sunday during a game between the Fever and Sky, the ball went flying into the stands and nearly hit a fan if not for the quick reflexes of the person sitting. with them.
So who was that fan?
It was none other than Jon Ledecky, uncle of famous American Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky and co-owner of the Islanders.
And the person who saved the Isles owner from being hit by the ball was his nephew Michael, who is Katie Ledecky’s brother.

Phenom Caitlin Clark has drawn plenty of celebrities to Fever games this season, and now she gave a warm welcome to an NHL owner who was presumably in Indianapolis to watch Katie Ledecky compete at the Olympic swimming lanes in Indianapolis on Sunday.
Jon Ledecky has been co-owner of the Islanders with Scott Malkin since the two reached an agreement to purchase the team from the late Charles Wang in 2014.
The two assumed majority ownership of the hockey team in 2016.
Clark finished the game with a game-high 23 points while dishing out nine assists and grabbing eight rebounds in Indiana’s 93-81 victory.
