Caitlin Clark returned to the court after recovering from a groin injury and won her first match against Paige Bueckers in the WNBA.
Indiana Fever added another win against Dallas Wings in Sunday’s game on July 13, with the match ending 102-83 in favor of CC and her teammates. This was the team’s second consecutive victory, leaving them with a record of 11-10.
The Indiana star continued to struggle with her shooting (she made 4 of 12 field goals and 2 of 7 three-pointers), but her assists cushioned the blow: she had 13 of them and became the fastest point guard in WNBA history to reach 100 assists in a single season.
However, this was not the only highlight of Clark’s day.
Caitlin’s emotional message
That date was also the birthday of Connor McCaffery, her boyfriend. The couple has been together for more than two years after meeting during their time in Iowa and have shared moments together on social media on several occasions.
On this occasion, celebrating another year of life for the Butler University assistant coach, Clark posted four photos with him. She accompanied the images with the following message:
“Happy happy happy birthday, Con. You make every day better, and I couldn’t be more grateful. May this be the best year yet. I love you.”
In the post, although some fans left their best wishes for Connor, others did not hide their “jealousy.”
“Why is he so close to my girl like that lol,” joked one of them. “Is this guy bothering you??” asked another of his followers. “I’m going to pretend I didn’t see this so we can go on with our marriage,” wrote a third fan. “The luckiest man in the world,” commented another.
Now, the Connecticut Sun is preparing to host Clark and the Fever at TD Garden on Tuesday the 15th, where they will have the support of their loyal fans and seek a new and third consecutive victory.
Then, they will face the New York Liberty on Wednesday night before the All-Star break, where CC will be the captain against the Minnesota Lynx forward, Napheesa Collier’s team.
