If there’s one thing the Indiana Fever locker room has learned this season, it’s that Caitlin Clark does not mess around with migraines—even if it means shutting down practice in uproarious fashion.
Third-year player Lexie Hull, who’s forged a friendship with the rookie sensation Clark, recently dished on this unforgettable moment during her appearance on The Ringer WNBA Show. In what has become legend around Fever HQ, coach Christie Sides decided it was time for the team to get ready for some rowdy away crowds by blasting loud music during practice. Great plan on paper, right? Except one detail: the decibel levels did not agree with Clark.
“We were just getting hyped up, trying to handle the noise level,” Hull recalled, laughter sneaking into her voice. “Then suddenly, Caitlin just yells, ‘Can someone turn it off? It’s giving me a migraine!’” Cue every player within earshot pausing in shock, and coach Sides doing a double-take.
You can imagine the locker room’s collective eye-roll when Sides asked Clark to repeat herself—because, as Hull pointed out, “None of us would have dared to repeat that!” Yet, with a straight face and zero fear, Clark did it. According to Hull, the team just lost it. “We were on the ground. You had to be there—it was like, who does that? Only Caitlin.”
The migraine confession quickly spiraled into a feverish laugh-fest, showcasing the team’s chemistry and, honestly, Clark’s fearlessness.
But while Clark may be sensitive to sound, she’s been anything but quiet on the court. The Fever rookie has been drawing fans in by the droves, making waves as she carves out a unique space in the WNBA with her boldness, talent, and willingness to call it like she sees it—even if it means temporarily derailing practice.
As the season wrapped up, Hull and Clark also took to the links, getting in some offseason bonding time over golf swings and mishits. Yet the burning question remains: Will Clark take her game to the new Unrivaled 3×3 league founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier?
The league’s inaugural season roster is practically bursting with talent—Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, Arike Ogunbowale—basically a highlight reel waiting to happen. Hull’s already onboard, one of the latest to sign, and rumors are swirling that the league is making a play to lock down Clark with an MLS-Messi-caliber offer. Talk about a full-court press!
For now, though, we’re left to wonder: Will Caitlin Clark take her migraine-inducing wit to 3×3 courts, or will she keep giving Fever fans stories like these to cherish in Indiana?
One thing’s for sure—wherever she goes, she’ll be bringing her unmistakable personality along with her.
