Caitlin Clark Speaks Out About Kate Martin’s WNBA Announcement

Former Iowa Hawkeyes Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin have remained the best of friends since entering the WNBA.

The two former roommates are in far different parts of the country. Clark is in Indiana playing for the Fever, and Martin is in Las Vegas playing for the Aces. This distance hasn’t kept the two from showing love to one another over social media.

On Monday, Martin made waves with an Instagram post that showed photos of her on the Aces.

“I love my job,” was her caption.

And fans are fawning over Caitlin Clark’s two emotional replies to the post.

“🖤🖤🥹🥹love you,” Clark responded to the post.

And that wasn’t the only comment that Clark left behind.

She also noted the mention of Martin’s mom, Jill, in one of the photos.

“Just here for jilly bean,” Clark said. Clearly “jilly bean” is a nickname that Clark has for Martin’s mother.

It’s always nice to see Clark and Martin reconnecting.

Unfortunately for fans, the two former Iowa Hawkeyes will not face each other on the court again until Sept. 11.
