Caitlin Clark is on cloud nine.
Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever has company as she begins her WNBA career in Indianapolis. Her boyfriend is Connor McCaffery, who happens to work for the NBA’s Indiana Pacers.
Both athletes played basketball at the University of Iowa. Clark just finished off her illustrious career as Division I basketball’s career leading scorer and in assists. While in college, McCaffery averaged 4.5 points per game from 2017-23 and played baseball at Iowa.
His career was not headed to the pros, but he is still going to reap the benefits in a big way.
McCaffery and Clark, who celebrated their first anniversary, had everybody thinking the same thing about him after they shared a photo of themselves hugging each other after the WNBA Draft.
On Friday, Caitlin Clark was all smiles as she rooted for the Indiana Pacers as her boyfriend Connor McCaffery is a team assistant. The newly drafted WNBA player was seen tossing T-shirts to the crowd during halftime between the Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks during game three of the NBA playoffs.
Clark also spent time in one of the suites, where she continued to cheer on the team and could be seen signing her autograph on a sonogram.
The Pacers won Games 3 and 4 and have to take a commanding 3-1 series lead.

You can’t beef with Trae Young. Apart from just sinking a lofty three-pointer, what he knows the best is to shut the opponent crowd down. In a game that will be talked about for years to come, Young put the Utah Jazz fans through a wild, emotional rollercoaster. And ultimately breaking their hearts with a stunning half-court game-winner.
The Atlanta Hawks had been in control for most of the match, but as the clock wound down, the Jazz managed to tie things up with a clutch play from Collin Sexton. The Delta Center erupted with excitement, and for a brief moment, all seemed right in Utah. But Trae Young, ever the showman, had other ideas. With just seconds left on the clock, he launched a breathtaking shot from beyond half-court and stunned the crowd.
