Move over, Olympians—Caitlin Clark is stealing the show from the sidelines! After a rollercoaster rookie season with the Indiana Fever, Clark is finally catching some well-deserved rays in Cabo San Lucas. And guess who’s her personal paparazzo? None other than her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, who captured a snapshot of Clark in pure holiday bliss.
The Rookie’s Rollercoaster
From being the league’s unofficial punching bag to becoming a serious contender for the ‘Rookie of the Year’ title, Caitlin Clark’s season has been nothing short of dramatic. She was fouled more often than a bad actor in a Shakespearean play, but her grit and grind won her the respect of her peers. The highlight? A record-breaking 19 assists in a single game on July 20. Talk about a slam dunk for a rookie!
Cabo Crew: Basketball Edition
Joining the vacation fun were Fever guard Lexie Hull with her boyfriend, Will Matthiessen, and Fever forward Katie Lou Samuelson with her hubby, Devin Cannady, and their adorable daughter, Aliya. It was a basketball bonanza with a touch of beach bliss. The gang’s all here, folks!
McCaffery’s Snap: A Moment in Time
Connor McCaffery, fresh off his first year as an assistant coach for the Indiana Pacers, played the role of Instagram boyfriend to perfection. He posted a picture of the duo soaking up the sun, proving that even basketball stars need a break from the hardwood. Clark might have been miffed about missing the Olympic team, but who needs the Olympics when you’ve got Cabo?
Stats Don’t Lie
Before her well-earned break, Clark was on fire. Averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, a league-leading 8.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game, she also became the first rookie in WNBA history to notch a triple-double in July. Imagine what she’ll do now that she’s recharged and ready to rock!
What’s Next?
Mark your calendars, folks. The Indiana Fever face off against the Phoenix Mercury on August 16. If Clark was a whirlwind of stats without a vacation, brace yourselves for a storm of epic proportions now that she’s back, tan, and rejuvenated.
So here’s to Caitlin Clark—making waves on and off the court, one assist at a time!
