In this thrilling episode of the WNBA’s off-court drama, Indiana Fever center Temi Fagbenle took to Instagram to recap her fabulous experience at the 2024 WNBA All-Star weekend. Spoiler alert: it was a parade of glam, good vibes, and gifts galore that would make even the Kardashians jealous.
“The WNBAPA went above and beyond with our Players’ Lounge during All-Star weekend… Immaculate vibes, amazing glam, tasty food and gifts galore! Thank you guys for making the experience so special!,” Fagbenle gushed, practically dripping with gratitude and sparkles.
Enter Caitlin Clark, the Fever’s resident rookie sensation and noted social media sniper, who swooped in with a comment that sent fans into a frenzy. “Obsessed w you!” Clark wrote, her words practically dripping with affection. Clearly, subtlety isn’t her strong suit, but who needs subtlety when you’ve got sass and heart emojis?
Clark, who played in the WNBA All-Star game for Team WNBA, showed off her skills with a modest yet mighty stat line of four points and 10 assists, helping her squad to a 117-109 victory over Team USA. Not too shabby for one of the two rookies on the roster, sharing the spotlight with Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese. Meanwhile, Fagbenle, sidelined by a pesky thumb injury and relegated to just 11 games this season, was soaking up the high life at the WNBA Pixel Player Lounge in Phoenix, Arizona.
Despite her thumb taking a vacation, the 31-year-old Fagbenle has been averaging a respectable 8.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. Clearly, she’s still got game, even if her thumb is on strike.
The bond between Fagbenle and Clark is the stuff of legends, or at least a decent buddy comedy. Clark’s comment is just the latest chapter in their ongoing saga of mutual admiration and Instagram love-fests.
So, there you have it, folks. A tale of two teammates, one glamorous All-Star weekend, and an Instagram comment that launched a thousand likes. In the world of WNBA, where the drama is as real as the three-pointers, it’s these moments of friendship and fun that keep us all tuning in.
Stay tuned for more off-court shenanigans, and remember, if you’re not commenting with heart emojis, are you even really teammates?
