When it comes to her latest achievement, Caitlin Clark is thanking Connor McCaffery for the assist.
After the Indiana Fever player was awarded the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year award, she reflected on her first professional season with a sweet nod to her boyfriend.
“Throwback to draft day,” Caitlin—who started dating Connor in April 2023—wrote in an Oct. 3 Instagram Story alongside a photo of the couple hugging. “I’m lucky.”
For his part, Connor reshared his girlfriend’s sweet message, and also added another post celebrating Caitlin’s milestone to his own Instagram Story.
Caitlin’s first season in the WNBA has been a slam dunk—with an average of 19 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists per game. And the judges panel knew it—with the 22-year-old receiving 66 of the 67 first place votes from the panels of writers and broadcasters who decided on the achievement (Chicago Sky player Angel Reese received one first place nod), per NBC News.
But despite her own success, Caitlin has continued to hype up Connor on his own achievements throughout her rookie season.
