As the WNBA offseason unfolds, Indiana Fever sensation Caitlin Clark has been actively attending events and games across the nation, offering her support to various teams. A notable recipient of her backing this season is the Butler Bulldogs, thanks to her boyfriend, former Iowa Hawkeyes standout Connor McCaffery, who now serves as an assistant coach on Butler’s coaching staff. Clark’s loyalty to the Bulldogs was on full display during their crucial matchup against the UConn Huskies, the reigning back-to-back national champions.
Having wrapped up her stellar collegiate career at Iowa, where she is set to have her jersey retired in February to honor her historic achievements, Clark is shifting her focus to support Butler. Her appearance at the December 21st game further exemplifies her commitment to McCaffery and his new role. Clark’s own legacy at Iowa is etched in history, as she is regarded as one of the greatest college basketball players of all time, making her presence at this game all the more significant.
Clark’s legendary rookie season in the WNBA with the Indiana Fever capped off a remarkable year for the young star. She led the Fever to their first postseason appearance since 2016 and made an indelible mark as one of the league’s top players. Clark not only earned a spot on the All-WNBA team but also made her WNBA All-Star Game debut, further cementing her place as a rising star. Dominating the assist column, she led the entire league in assists and garnered multiple Player of the Week honors, culminating in being named Player of the Month during the regular season’s final stretch.
As Clark heads into her sophomore season with the Fever, the team will have a fresh look under new head coach Stephanie White. With White at the helm, the Fever have set their sights on a WNBA title, and Clark’s leadership will be key in their quest for a championship. The upcoming season promises to be an exciting one, with Clark’s skills and vision guiding the Fever’s resurgence.
Off the court, Clark continues to make waves, supporting her boyfriend’s coaching career while navigating her own path as one of the most accomplished and marketable players in the league. As she transitions into her second WNBA season, all eyes will be on her continued growth as a player and as a leader, both for the Fever and the sport at large.
