Caitlin Clark is known for being one of the greatest female athletes<\/a> of her generation. <\/p>\n

She dominates the WNBA<\/a> and along with stars like Cameron Brink and Angel Reese, and she’s made the sport more popular than ever.<\/p>\n

But Clark isn’t all about basketball. She has a personal life, too.<\/p>\n

Clark is dating Connor McCaffery, and the two have been a couple since<\/a> they started dating in April 2023. They met while both were playing\u00a0 basketball at the University of Iowa.<\/p>\n

McCaffery works as a player development assistant for the Noblesville Boom, the Indiana Pacers’ NBA G League.<\/p>\n

Followers were quick to comment, some wishing him a happy birthday and others urging him to propose.<\/p>\n

“Man propose already Con. She is literally the GOAT,” one said.<\/p>\n

“The last pic. I see him at every single home game cheering you on,” another said, regarding the photo where McCaffery is supporting Clark on the court.<\/p>\n

Caitlin Clark Frustrated After Golden State Game<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Indiana Fever suffered an 88-75 loss<\/a> to the Golden State Valkyries. There was a non-call midway through the second quarter of the game, and at that point, Clark threw a fist in the air and moved toward an official<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She had been going to the basket for a layup and after contact with Kiah Stokes fell to the floor. The basket got counted but she didn’t get a foul.<\/p>\n

“The ref can’t miss that … then I have to play with a contusion in my leg the rest of the game,” Clark said after the game, according to ESPN<\/a>. “It’s ridiculous. … [The ref] said I initiated the contact. Which is fine, but you can’t knee me in the leg. Knock me over.”<\/p>\n

There was some concern that she may have a leg injury out of it, but she says that’s not the case. “Ah, we’ll just rub it out,” Clark said, half-joking.<\/p>\n
