The All-Star guard, who’s been out of action since July 15 due to a groin injury, continues to attract thousands of fans when her team hits the road.
The Fever currently holds a 16-12 record, good enough for fifth place overall in the league, third in the Eastern Conference. The team is currently on a four-game winning streak after beating rookie sensation Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings 88-78.

With Paige Bueckers leading the Wings and the Fever pulling off a key win, it was still Caitlin‘s reaction that went viral. Moments like these prove that even off the court, Clark finds a way to keep all eyes on her and why she’s one of the most popular players in the league.
