Caitlyn Clark and her boyfriend, Connor McCaffrey, react to an adorable moment captured during the Fever vs. Lynx game. Caitlyn Clark’s boyfriend, Conor McCaffrey, was courtside on Friday to watch the highly anticipated game between the Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx. Indiana has arguably been the best team since the Olympic break, but it faced one of this year’s legitimate championship contenders.
The Fever got off to a fast start, outscoring the Lynx 27 to 19 in the first 10 minutes of the game. Minnesota, as expected, refused to wilt under the pressure of the host team. Despite playing against a hostile crowd, Napheesa Collier and Co. methodically clawed back into the game early in the second quarter. The Lynx played with more pace and energy to turn the tables on the Fever. The Lynx pulled within four points before Caitlyn Clark’s smooth 5-foot floater gave the Fever more breathing room.
Clark’s one-handed shot was captured by BR Luar, a freelance sports photographer, and shared on Instagram. The Fever rookie sensation responded to the post. Connor McCaffrey replied via X (formerly known as Twitter) with emojis. NBA star Tyrese Haliburton, who sat beside McCaffrey, also jumped into the comments. The floater seems to be a move McCaffrey has been helping Clark perfect, as McCaffrey, an assistant coach with the Indiana Pacers, is known for his input.
The Instagram photos included Clark and McCaffrey sharing a hug after the game. It also showed Indiana Pacers coach appreciating his girlfriend’s performance, despite the Fever’s 99 to 88 loss. Overall, it was a heartwarming collection of pictures that delighted both Clark and Indiana fans.
