As the WNBA offseason continues, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has been attending various events, showing her support for the Butler Bulldogs. Clark’s connection to the team is personal—her boyfriend, former Iowa standout Connor McCaffery, is currently an assistant coach at Butler. This past Saturday, Clark was present for one of the Bulldogs’ biggest games of the season against the UConn Huskies, who are back-to-back national champions.
Clark, who herself is an Iowa alum, is set to have her jersey retired in February for her incredible career with the Hawkeyes women’s basketball program. With both her and McCaffery’s college careers at Iowa now behind them, Clark has turned her attention to supporting Butler. Her appearance at the game further highlights her commitment to McCaffery’s coaching journey.
The timing of Clark’s visit comes just months after a remarkable rookie season with the Indiana Fever. She helped lead the Fever to the playoffs for the first time since 2016 and was recognized as one of the league’s best players. Clark earned a spot on the All-WNBA team and even made her debut at the WNBA All-Star Game. Her impressive performance included leading the league in assists and securing multiple Player of the Week honors.
Looking ahead, Clark is focused on her sophomore season with the Fever, which will be under new head coach Stephanie White. The team has set its sights on competing for a WNBA title in the coming season, with Clark poised to play a significant role in their success. As she continues to support McCaffery and his coaching career, Clark is also preparing to take her game to new heights in the upcoming WNBA season.
