While Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark continues her stint on the injured list, her absence from the basketball court has done little to remove her from the spotlight.
Even as she rehabs a nagging groin injury, Clark finds herself at the heart of a new story circulating through the Fever locker room-one involving an unkept promise and a batch of missing cookies.
Clark and Aliyah Boston, both former No. 1 overall picks and back-to-back Rookie of the Year winners, have forged a visible bond since joining the Fever.
That chemistry is set to get even more attention with the debut of Boston‘s new podcast, “Post Moves,” co-hosted with WNBA legend Candace Parker.
In a teaser clip shared on social media, Boston didn’t hesitate to bring up her teammate’s baking pledge.
“You guys should actually find her and tell her why she hasn’t baked us any cookies yet, okay?” Boston joked, sparking a lighthearted interrogation from Parker. As the conversation unfolded, it became clear that Clark‘s promise of homemade cookies had become a running joke among the team.
“No, she just says she’s gonna,” Boston admitted. “That’s just the word on the street.”
Locker room camaraderie gets a boost-even without Clark on the court
The playful back-and-forth comes at a crucial moment for the Fever, who have been forced to compete without Clark‘s playmaking while she recovers.
Still, the mood in the locker room appears upbeat, and these moments of levity are serving as much-needed relief during a stretch of the season that could easily become tense.
As the team awaits Clark‘s return to action, the cookie conversation has become a symbol of the close-knit atmosphere Indiana is building. Boston and her teammates aren’t just waiting for Clark to rejoin them on the floor – they are also eager for her to step up in the kitchen.
With Clark set to miss yet another game, the playful pressure from her teammates offers a reminder that, for all the scrutiny and high expectations, these athletes still find joy and connection in the small things. Whether Clark‘s first comeback is on the hardwood or in the form of a long-awaited batch of cookies, she will undoubtedly be welcomed back with enthusiasm.
For the Fever, every little gesture matters as they chase success and try to keep spirits high.
And for Clark, the next challenge may be just as much about fulfilling promises to her teammates as it is about recovering from injury.
