Caitlin Clark and her family's gesture that makes it clear how serious they are about their relationship with Connor McCaffery
Indiana Fever standout Caitlin Clark made her Thanksgiving meaningful by combining family time with her unwavering support for her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery.
While basketball wasn't on her agenda as the WNBA is currently in its offseason, Clark found herself courtside at a college game where McCaffery, an assistant coach for Butler University, was on duty.
Clark traveled to Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona, to watch the Bulldogs face the Northwestern Wildcats on Thanksgiving night.
While her attendance alone reflected her dedication to their relationship, the fact that she brought her entire family along emphasized how deeply rooted McCaffery is in her life.
Family Support: A Heartfelt Thanksgiving Gesture
Making the journey from Indianapolis to Tempe, a distance of over 1,600 miles, was no small feat. However, Clark didn't make the trip alone. Seated beside her in the stands were her parents, Brent and Anne, as well as her brothers, Blake and Colin.
This collective show of support from Clark and her family on a day as significant as Thanksgiving underlines the importance of McCaffery in her life.
Clark's gesture highlights not just her personal commitment but also how her family embraces McCaffery as part of their circle.
Thanksgiving is traditionally reserved for family gatherings, and the choice to spend it cheering on McCaffery speaks volumes about the seriousness of their relationship.
McCaffery, too, has been a constant presence at Clark's games during her rookie WNBA season, showcasing his role as her number-one supporter. This time, the tables were turned, with Clark stepping into the supportive partner role.
A Relationship Built on Mutual Respect
Clark and McCaffery's relationship began in April 2023, and their bond has only strengthened since.
Now over a year and a half into their partnership, they have managed to balance their busy careers with their personal connection.
According to Yahoo! Entertainment, their high-profile relationship has been a source of inspiration for fans who admire Clark's ability to balance her professional achievements with her personal life.
By bringing her family to Arizona, Clark has shown just how intertwined her worlds have become, further solidifying the couple's growing bond.
As one of the WNBA's brightest stars, Caitlin Clark continues to capture hearts both on and off the court.
Her Thanksgiving outing not only highlighted her commitment to McCaffery but also reflected her ability to prioritize relationships that matter most.

Angel Reese says she has no hard feelings toward Caitlin Clark: 'It's just basketball'
Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese recently took a break from her busy schedule to attend ComplexCon in Las Vegas, where she shared insights into her basketball journey with Speedy Morman.
After a standout rookie season in the WNBA, Reese discussed her experiences and opened up about her relationship with Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.
During the conversation, Morman asked Reese about her perceived rivalry with Clark, especially after the two went head-to-head in the 2024 Rookie of the Year race, with Clark ultimately taking home the honor.
Fans haven't helped the situation which blighted the entire WNBA season
Fans often fueled the narrative of a rivalry between the two players, but Reese emphasized that there were no hard feelings between them.
"I don't think it's just her fans, I think it's fans in general," Reese explained to Speedy Morman.
"People don't realize at the end of the day, we're human. You guys watch us. Knowing that, it's just basketball. I promise you, it's just basketball.
"I don't have any hard feelings towards her. She doesn't have any hard feelings towards me, but yeah, it gets crazy sometimes."
Reese acknowledged that while fans might take the competition too far at times, the rivalry itself was simply part of the game.
She and Clark have a long history, facing off since their AAU days and continuing their battles in college, with Reese playing for LSU and Clark representing Iowa. In their rookie WNBA season, they faced each other four times, with Clark's Fever winning the season series 3-1.
Reese's rookie season in the WNBA was nothing short of impressive. She averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game, leading the league in rebounds. Notably, Reese was the only rookie to average a double-double, solidifying her place as one of the most exciting young talents in the league.
Despite the heated debates surrounding the Rookie of the Year award, Reese kept her focus on the game itself.
"It's just basketball," she concluded

Lexie Hull opens up about the power of friendship with Caitlin Clark: "You have all these expectations put on her"
Lexie Hull and Caitlin Clark have developed exciting chemistry in basketball for the Indiana Fever. The closeness between the sharpshooter and the generational talent from Iowa blossomed out of the court and they often spend time together, calling themselves the best of friends.
On Tuesday, Hull appeared on the “She’s4Sports” podcast to open up about her career in the WNBA. Naturally, the conversation steered towards her friendship with Clark. When asked about sharing the court with a teammate whom she has become close with, Hull responded:
“It’s really awesome to get to know her as well, because, you know, she’s a great person, but you all have these expectations put on her and our team has put on her and fans have put on her. So to see her kind of be so mature in that transition, it’s been really awesome.” (2:36 mark)
Hull explained that getting to know her as a person outside of the basketball superstar was crucial in their friendship. Once they became more comfortable with each other, they’ve seen great results in their partnership.
Lexie Hull mainly came off the bench for the Indiana Fever. When she became more valuable and her chemistry with Caitlin Clark became more evident, Hull became a fixture in the starting lineup. The two close friends, together with Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell and NaLyssa Smith, carried the team to a strong finishing kick in the 2024 season.
From an 11-15 record before the Olympic games started, the Fever finished with a 9-5 mark to close the regular season with a 20-20 record. The sprint to the finish line allowed them to grab the No. 6 spot in the playoffs, Indiana’s first postseason appearance since 2016.

Caitlin Clark's interesting leadership methods exposed by her former coach Lisa Bluder
In a recent interview with Washington Post Live, former coach Lisa Bluder offered a rare insight into the character of Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark. As the basketball world continues to marvel at Clark's on-court prowess, Bluder shed light on the qualities that make her more than just a standout player - she's a remarkable leader.
Bluder, who had the privilege of coaching Clark during her tenure with the Iowa Hawkeyes, emphasized her exceptional leadership skills. According to Bluder, Clark's greatness extended beyond her individual performance; it was her ability to unite and uplift her teammates that truly set her apart.
"She was a great teammate. She included everybody... It was the way that she led, the way that she really incorporated her teammates," Bluder remarked during the interview.
One poignant example Bluder highlighted was Clark's gesture during the WNBA draft. Clark didn't just celebrate her own achievements; she brought three of her teammates along, ensuring they were part of the experience. Moreover, she didn't forget to express her gratitude, gifting them all with Nike shoes and Bose headphones.
Bluder's testimonial arrives amidst comparisons between Clark and other prominent figures in women's basketball, such as A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces. Former Iowa player Kate Martin recently praised Wilson's leadership, sparking speculation about how it might reflect on Clark. However, Bluder's insights clarify that both players possess distinct but equally commendable leadership styles.
Clark is a well-rounded offensive star
While Clark's scoring prowess often steals the spotlight, her career assist numbers reveal another facet of her game - one characterized by selflessness and a commitment to team success. Finishing her college career among the all-time assist leaders in NCAA history, Clark's ability to create opportunities for her teammates is a testament to her unyielding dedication to the collective effort.
But life in the WNBA hasn't been easy for the Fever star. Indiana continue to lose games as most of the scoring burden seemingly falls on the rookies shoulders. Clark will need more games and experience for her leadership qualities to show. Most importantly, the Fever hope that Clark's leadership and offensive ability will soon lead to results

Caitlin Clark surprises Des Moines students with selfies and school supplies
Back to school is more than just getting school supplies — 350 students in Des Moines schools were able to get everything they needed for the new school year and meet Iowa women's basketball legend Caitlin Clark at North High School on Friday.
"Caitlin Clark is not only own of the world’s most talented and best-known athletes, she is also a generous soul," said Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts in a news release. "She knows that when you succeed, you should give a little something back to help others succeed, and that’s exactly what she did today."
The supplies benefited 300 students from Des Moines Public Schools and 50 area parochial school students selected by caseworkers, said Phil Roeder communications and public affairs director for the district.
The students and their parents gathered in the North High School gymnasium on Friday afternoon to get the supplies free of charge from the foundation, but they weren't expecting to meet Caitlin Clark.
'It was kept very, very secret' foundation president says about Caitlin Clark's visit with Des Moines students
"It was kept very, very secret because we weren't sure until the last minute whether she could come... We didn't want to disappoint anybody," Caitlin Clark Foundation President Mary Coffin told the Register. "But Caitlin was there. She interacted with the kids and she shot some basketballs with them. She loves it, she loves to be a part of it. It's really her passion."
The school supply-stuffed backpacks were given away as part of the Caitlin Clark Foundation’s "Back To School Backpacks" initiative. Nike supplied backpacks stuffed with necessary school supplies like notebooks, pens and pencils donated by Hy-Vee. Gatorade gave students water bottles.
"I know how fortunate I was to have a strong education and access to tools that allowed me to be successful in the classroom,” Clark said in a release. "School supplies are essential for every student’s learning and development, and the Caitlin Clark Foundation is grateful to our sponsors for their support in making this event possible."
Clark's visit came as a welcomed surprise. Students were able to not only get their backpacks and school supplies, but to get their picture taken with the basketball star and shoot some hoops with her.
"We were excited to welcome Caitlin to North High School today to meet students from across the district, and are honored to count the Caitlin Clark Foundation as a new DMPS partner in our important work of providing a quality education to the students of Des Moines," Roberts said.
The district hopes to continue the partnership and not have the event be a one-time thing, Roeder said.
"It's very rewarding and exciting for us to begin a relationship with the Caitlin Clark Foundation," he said. "From talking to her and her family members ... we suspect that this is not a one-and-done event, but that is the start of what we think will be a long, good relationship for the kids in our community."
What is the Caitlin Clark Foundation?
Education, nutrition and sport.
Those are the three things Clark says helped her find success. The Caitlin Calrk Foundation is committed to providing food, clothes, sports gear and more to Iowa youth and communities.
Clark is passionate about supporting young adults in their pursuit of excellence, both on and off the court. Through initiatives such as educational programs, sports camps, food drives, clothing and gear donations, and community outreach, the foundation aims to make a positive impact in the lives of youth.
The non-profit has had initiatives including the Stock Up Campaign with the Coralville Community Food Pantry, the Warm Up and Gear Up campaigns with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Iowa and the Fuel Up Campaign with Hy-Vee.

Thanksgiving dinner took a backseat for Caitlin Clark, who chose to spend the holiday not with a traditional meal but at the Arizona Tip-Off tournament. The Indiana Fever superstar, surrounded by her family, was at Butler University’s Mullett Arena—a place where her presence always seems to lift the team. This time, it wasn’t just her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, who was part of the scene. Her entire family, including her brothers Blake and Colin, and parents Brent and Anne, joined her in what quickly turned into a viral celebration.
The Butler Bulldogs had just edged past the Arizona Wildcats in a nail-biting 71-69 victory, and as the buzzer echoed, Clark and her family raised their hands in jubilation. The moment was electric—but it was the reaction of the Wildcats, particularly standout Brooks Barnhizer, that drew eyes. As the seconds ticked down, Barnhizer’s desperation shot for a tie fell short, leaving him visibly shaken and teary-eyed. His missed opportunity to send the game into overtime left a bitter sting for the Wildcats, while the Clark family’s exuberance was almost too much to ignore.
It wasn’t the first time Clark had made an appearance at a Butler game. But this time felt different. Thanksgiving had always been a time for family, but this year, Clark found a way to combine both: her family, all deeply rooted in sports, made the trip to Tempe to support McCaffery, an assistant coach, while his younger brother played a standout game. The Clark family’s bond with sports runs deep, with Caitlin’s father coaching her from a young age and her brothers sharing her passion. For Caitlin, this moment wasn’t just about a game—it was a celebration of family and everything they’ve been through together in the world of sports.

Here's the full 2025 Indiana Fever schedule!

For years, Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin defined Iowa basketball, their names synonymous with dominance and excitement. But now, as both make their transition to the professional ranks, the Hawkeyes are turning the page to a new era. Enter Hannah Stuelke, a 21-year-old forward who is quietly becoming the next face of the program. Coach Jan Jensen, stepping into a new role herself, has placed her full trust in Stuelke, a player who’s steadily grown into her own, both on and off the court.
There’s a unique challenge in coaching players like Clark, who seem to have it all. "When you have a kid that can do something like Caitlin did, you try to highlight strengths and minimize weaknesses," Coach Jensen shared. The magic of a star player is often in their few imperfections, but with others, the task shifts to amplifying what they do best, a strategy Jensen believes could lead Stuelke to stardom. And the signs are already there.
In Iowa’s dominant 68-48 win over BYU, it wasn’t just Stuelke’s impressive stat line—16 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists—that caught the eye; it was the leadership she showed. Iowa’s second-half surge, scoring 43 points, came largely on the back of her 14-point performance. "Without Lucy (who was injured), I had to step up a little bit more," Stuelke said after the game, acknowledging her role in guiding her team to victory. As the Hawkeyes continue to remain undefeated at 8-0, Stuelke is not only filling the stat sheet but also embodying the leadership that’s become essential to Iowa’s success.
Beyond the court, Stuelke’s transformation is just as noticeable. Gone is the shy, nervous player from her earlier years at Iowa. During a Big Ten media day, she spoke about how much she’s grown, both as a player and as a person. Her newfound confidence is reflected not just in her play but in her ability to help guide the younger players, organizing team dinners and setting expectations for the freshmen. “Her voice is getting louder, which I love,” Coach Jensen said, acknowledging Stuelke’s growing influence on the team.
Now, as she steps into the role left behind by Clark, Stuelke is more than ready to lead the Hawkeyes into this next chapter. With the right mindset, a developing skill set, and a voice that’s growing louder each day, Hannah Stuelke is primed to fill the big shoes left by Iowa’s former stars and carve out a legacy of her own.

Caitlin Clark’s production and panache make her a women’s basketball ambassador, a role she embraces
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Her likeness was sculptured out of butter at the state fair and a tribute to her was a highlight for an Iowa marching band football halftime show.
She was the main draw when she played golf in the pro-am event ahead of the PGA Tour’s nearby John Deere Classic and she greeted thousands of fans at both an IndyCar race and a minor-league baseball game, where a line began forming 10 hours ahead of time and wrapped around the stadium.
She helped teammates build a Habitat For Humanity house, led a fund-raiser for a local food pantry and hosted a basketball camp for 600 kids that sold out in four hours.
Oh, she also joined teammates on a 12-day tour of Italy and Croatia, made an ad for Nike and went to New York to pick up the Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the United States.

Caitlin Clark Sends Five-Word Message to Gabbie Marshall
Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin have been battling throughout their WNBA rookie seasons, but the former teammates with the Iowa Hawkeyes split their differences over the weekend and traveled back to where it all started.
Clark and Martin went back to Iowa City to collect their rings for the Big Ten title in 2024 and celebrate back-to-back Final Four appearances in 2023 and 2024.
While the two were in town to celebrate the past, they were also greeted by former teammates, much of which are still competing at the collegiate level.
Another member of the Hawkeyes pack, who is no longer playing but was a huge part of Iowa's recent success, was Gabbie Marshall.
The former Hawkeyes guard took to social media to share a few photos of her reunion with Clark and Martin over the weekend.
"The best weekend being reunited with all my people," Marshall captioned the post.
Clark then responded to Marshall, sending the former Hawkeye a kind message.
Marshall played for the Hawkeyes from 2019 to 2024. During her time at Iowa, Marshall averaged 6.6 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
Clark made her collegiate debut a year later than Marshall, playing for the Hawkeys from 2020 to 2024. During her college career, Clark averaged 28.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game.
After the two went their separate ways, the Indiana Fever drafted Clark with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft, and Marshall retired from basketball.
During her rookie season with the Fever, Clark averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game. She led the WNBA in average assists and led all rookies in scoring.
Clark also helped the Fever make the playoffs for the first time since 2016. The Fever finished the year with a 20-20 record and was listed as the No. 6 team in the WNBA standings.

Caitlin Clark impact on and off the court could be significant it is estimated she will bring a 100 million dollar boost to Indianapolis economy alone.
This study comes after the Common Sense Institute in Iowa projected Clark's economic impact on her home state was $82.5 million over her four-year college career at Iowa. Increased attendance at Iowa women's basketball games added between $14.4 million and $52.3 million to the economy, according to the study, and other increased consumer spending in relation to Clark's stardom in the state amounted to the $82.5 million
