The Indiana Fever were looking to win their sixth-consecutive game against the Minnesota Lynx on September 6. The Fever have been on a 7-1 hot streak since returning from Olympic break. The only team to defeat Indiana during the second half of the season, however, was the Lynx. 

While Clark became the fastest player in WNBA history to record 200+ assists with 200+ rebounds against the Lynx, and broke Kelsey Mitchell’s franchise record for most threes in a season (103 and counting), Indiana fell apart in third quarter. While Clark scored a team-high 25 points, with 8.0 rebounds and 8.0 assists, the Fever lost 99-88.

Supporting Clark during Friday night’s matchup, the rookie’s boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, who sat courtside next to Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, just as he did during the Sparks-Fever game. McCaffery, who works as an assistant for the Pacers, once again proved to be Clark’s biggest fan.

According to the Indy Star’s Chloe Peterson, McCaffery, along with Haliburton, stood up to applaud for every major Fever play.

Before the game started, McCaffery made it clear that he was also a huge fan of Clark’s pregame outfit. He posted a photo of his girlfriend on his Instagram Stories with the “ahem” emoji.

McCaffery, who celebrated his one-year anniversary with Clark last April, continues to be huge pillar of support for rookie phenom. The 22-year-old posted a heartfelt message to McCaffery for his birthday in July.

Clark wrote to the former Iowa Hawkeye on Instagram, “Celebrating you is easy 🙂 thankful to have someone as selfless and as loving as you in my life🖤 May this be the year you finally find a way to outshoot me 😉 Love you always 🥺🤍.”
