To support her lover Connor McCaffery and his new squad, Caitlin Clark was in the building!

The 22-year-old basketball sensation supported McCaffery, who took an assistant coaching job at the university in September, by attending the Butler men’s basketball season opener in Indianapolis, Indiana on Monday, November 4.

At the Hinkle Fieldhouse, where the Butler Bulldogs play, Clark wore a black sweater and a bomber jacket to keep her outfit basic.

The Indiana Fever star might have even been McCaffery’s lucky charm as the Bulldogs defeated the Missouri State Bears 72-65 on opening night.Prior to joining Butler as an assistant coach, McCaffery was employed by the Indiana Pacers of the NBA.

When Clark was selected by the Fever, the former Iowa Hawkeye, who had known Clark while they were both student-athletes at the university, was working as a team assistant for the Pacers. The Pacers and Fever play at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, where McCaffery no longer works, although he will still be nearby at Butler in Indianapolis.Clark thanked her boyfriend on social media following McCaffery’s announcement of his new position in September. On her Instagram Stories, the WNBA player enthusiastically announced the news, adding, “Yayyy!!!” I’m very thrilled for you 🤍,” Butler wrote below the official post.

The announcement was posted on the school’s athletics website. In the statement, Butler head coach Thad Matta stated, “Connor has had the opportunity to both contribute and learn alongside one of the best staffs in the NBA after a high-level playing career.”

“Our employees will greatly benefit from those experiences. He clearly comes from a basketball family that I know well, and I’m looking forward to the immediate and long-term effects he will have on our program.”In April 2023, Clark and McCaffery began dating, but it wasn’t until four months later that the WNBA player shared a picture of herself with him on Instagram with the message, “Best end to summer.” An sweet photo of the couple cuddling up to one another on a boat was included in the post.

After an incredible first season that saw her win the 2024 Associated Press and WNBA rookie of the year awards, Clark is currently in her first WNBA offseason. Throughout the season, she averaged 19.2 points, 8.4 assists (a WNBA high), 5.7 rebounds, and 1.33 steals.
