Aubrey Plaza brought her signature dry humor to an Indiana Fever practice during the team's recent road trip to New York. In a behind-the-scenes video from NBC, the pregnant actress crashed a team session and turned it into a mock tryout alongside Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston.

Plaza wasted no time on the court. She joked about her own athletic past, then matched up directly against Clark in a one-and-a-half against one defensive drill. She also mocked the point guard's pregame stretching routine before guarding her one-on-one.
From there, Plaza offered guard Lexie Hull tips on using the "dark arts" to mentally break down opponents, and even accidentally critiqued assistant coach Austin Kelly before learning who he was.
Fever vs Aces Road Matchup Delivers
The segment aired just as the Fever wrapped up a strong road stretch.
Indiana routed Las Vegas 109-75 in their latest Fever vs. Aces matchup on July 12. In that same game, Clark became the fastest player in WNBA history to record 600 career assists, reaching the mark in just 72 games. Plaza's brick house defense, it seems, did not carry over.
Indiana will next face the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday at 8 PM ET, live on USA network.
