The Indiana Fever guard became the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I history at Iowa with 3,951 points, went No. 1 overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft, and won Rookie of the Year in a unanimous vote.

Caitlin Clark has been dating Connor McCaffery since 2023. McCaffery is the son of Iowa men’s basketball head coach Fran McCaffery and played both basketball and baseball for the Hawkeyes before finishing his college career at Butler in 2023-24. The two met on campus and went public around spring 2023, when he was regularly spotted at Carver-Hawkeye Arena during Iowa’s run to the national title game.
He was courtside in Cleveland for the 2024 Final Four and in Brooklyn on April 15, 2024, when she was drafted first overall. That summer McCaffery joined the Indiana Pacers as a player development assistant, putting both of them in Indianapolis. They’ve never publicly confirmed an engagement.

Nike has pointed to 2026 for her first signature sneaker, making her one of the few WNBA players ever to get a namesake shoe. She also appears in State Farm campaigns alongside Jimmy Butler’s “Jimmy Buckets” character and fronts Gatorade’s guard-focused spots.
Religion
Raised Catholicism
Best Known For
Breaking Pete Maravich’s NCAA Division I all-time scoring record on March 3, 2024, and finishing with 3,951 career points. Also for two Naismith Player of the Year awards (2023, 2024), back-to-back national championship game appearances with Iowa, her 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year season, and for being the biggest ratings draw the WNBA has ever had — Fever games she plays in routinely pull several times the audience of games she sits out, and her return has driven the league’s September playoff push coverage.
First TV Show
She made a cameo on Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update segment on May 11, 2024, trading jabs with Michael Che.
Personal Trainer
Clark works with the Indiana Fever’s performance staff in Indianapolis. Her 2025 season was wrecked by soft-tissue problems — a left quad strain in May, a left groin strain in July, and a right groin injury in September that shut her down after just 13 games. She spent the following offseason on a rebuilt strength and mobility program aimed at load management and hip stability rather than added bulk, returning with a heavier emphasis on recovery days between games.
Caitlin Clark’s Favorite Things
- Sport (besides basketball) – Golf. She played the pro-am at the John Deere Classic in July 2024 and The Annika in November 2024.
- Team – Iowa Hawkeyes football

- Grocery store – Hy-Vee, the Iowa chain she now endorses
Caitlin Clark’s Facts

- She was the first women’s basketball player since Sheryl Swoopes to get a Nike signature shoe, with the line expected to launch in 2026.

- She was named Time‘s Athlete of the Year for 2024.
- Her WNBA career-high is 35 points, set against Dallas in September 2024.
