While recovering from her fourth muscle injury of the season, Caitlin Clark showed that her commitment goes beyond the court.

Her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, was facing a family loss this past Saturday, and the WNBA star did not hesitate to show her support publicly.

Clark, who hasn’t played since July 15 due to a groin injury, expressed her affection through a series of emojis on McCaffery’s Instagram post, in which he shared an emotional message about his grandmother.

The image, showing Connor as a child alongside the woman his brother Patrick called “mormor” (grandmother in Scandinavian), was accompanied by heartfelt words:

“I’ve been thinking about what to say, and I can’t. It’s impossible to put into words how much you meant to our entire family. I refuse to say goodbye, so until we meet again ❤️❤️❤️🕊️🕊️ 🕊️.”

Caitlin Clark response, filled with hearts and prayers, reflected the intimacy and strength of the couple amid moments of grief.

A relationship built on court and everyday life

Clark and McCaffery have been together for two years, having first met in Iowa while both were part of basketball teams.

Their relationship has been defined by constant mutual support. Clark attends Butler games, where McCaffery serves as an assistant coach. He was previously affiliated with the Indiana Pacers during Clark rookie season with the Fever.

This professional and personal connection has strengthened a bond that fans admire both on and off the court.

Clark and the battle against injuries

This season has not been easy for Caitlin Clark. After two hamstring injuries and two consecutive groin problems, her return remains uncertain.

Although her status was recently updated to “day-to-day,” fans continue to speculate about when she might return to the court.

With a five-day break following the game against the Connecticut Sun, some experts, including Ryan Ruocco of ESPN, predict a possible comeback next week.

Meanwhile, the Fever face challenges in the WNBA, holding an 18-16 record, sitting in seventh place, and having lost four of their last five games.
