Caitlin Clark may be sidelined with a left quad strain, but she’s still flying with her teammates, supporting the Fever on the road, and sporting her love for Taylor Swift loud and proud.

The moment, shared via the Fever’s official Instagram account, showed the star rookie wearing a black T-shirt from Swift’s record-breaking “Eras Tour.”
