Kate Martin, the Las Vegas Aces rookie and budding TikTok sensation, decided to give fans a peek into her offseason routine. Spoiler alert: it involves a toothbrush, gym sweat, and Mac Miller’s timeless track “Surf.” While she may have spent most of her rookie season warming the bench and observing A’ja Wilson’s magic, Martin’s social media game proves she’s got star potential elsewhere.
On Saturday, a Caitlin Clark fan page ignited a frenzy on X (formerly known as Twitter, because apparently even platforms go through mid-life crises) by sharing screenshots from Martin’s TikTok. The video showcased her day-to-day activities—brushing her teeth, gym workouts, and other mundane yet oddly captivating moments. Accompanied by Mac Miller’s soulful beats, Martin gave fans a masterclass in turning the ordinary into the iconic.
One fan couldn’t resist posting all the snapshots, including Martin brushing her teeth, which raises the question: has dental hygiene ever been this riveting? Another photo showed her sweating it out in the gym, because even off-court, the grind never stops.
Rookie Year Recap: Humble Beginnings
Martin’s rookie season with the Aces wasn’t exactly headline material. Averaging 2.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game, she played the role of the quiet understudy to veterans like Wilson and Gray. But let’s not forget, every star starts somewhere—even if that somewhere is the bench.
However, Martin’s basketball journey is far from over. She’s signed on with the 3×3 basketball league Unrivaled, set to tip off in January. Perhaps this time, she’ll trade the bench for some well-deserved spotlight.
Save or Splurge? Martin and Kitley’s Money Moves
As if TikTok fame wasn’t enough, Martin recently teamed up with teammate Elizabeth Kitley for a cheeky Instagram reel in partnership with Ally Financial. The duo played “Save or Splurge,” a game where they weighed the merits of spending versus saving on various items.
The results? New clothes got the thumbs-up for saving, proving that rookies don’t splurge unless they have to. But when it came to concert tickets, both Martin and Kitley went all in—because apparently, music trumps practicality.
Luxury spa days divided the pair: Kitley was ready to dive into indulgence, while Martin stood firm in her frugality. The grand finale—bucket-list travel—saw them both embracing the splurge life because, honestly, who can resist a good vacation?
From TikTok to Court: What’s Next for Kate Martin?
While Martin’s stats may not yet scream MVP, her personality and hustle are winning hearts off the court. Whether she’s brushing her teeth to Mac Miller or debating the virtues of trendy jewelry, Martin is proving there’s more to a rookie than just numbers.
As the 3×3 league approaches, fans can only hope to see more of Martin—not just on TikTok, but making plays that have us talking for all the right reasons. Until then, she’ll keep reminding us that even the little things—like choosing between fine dining and a night out—can have their own kind of star power.
Because let’s face it: in a world of high-stakes drama and cutthroat rivalries, sometimes all you need is a toothbrush and a good soundtrack to steal the spotlight.
