Indiana Fever Caitlin Clark’s rookie season has been emotional, she went from being one of the most fouled players on the league to earning the respect from her peers through hard work and dedication. Today, she is being considered to win the ‘Rookie of the Year’ award but she is taking a well-deserved holiday after not making the cut for Team USA’s Olympic Basketball Women’s Team. Clark not making the cut meant that she has finally been able to take a vacation after a year of non-stop hard work. Her most exciting game thus far was on July 20, when she broke the record for the most assists delivered in a game for a rookie with 19. As a reward for her accomplishments, Clark decided to take a trip to Cabo San Lucas with her boyfriend Connor McCaffery.
Caitlin and Connor weren’t alone, they were accompannied by fellow Fever guard Lexie Hull and her boyfriend Will Matthiessen. They were also accompannied by Fever forward Katie Lou Samuelson, her husband Devin Cannady and the couple’s daughter Aliya. Right after getting back from the trip, McCaffery posted an image wherehe is enjoying his time off with Clark during this escapade. Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend just finished his first year as an assistant for the Indiana Pacers. Although Caitlin Clark was probably not happy with getting snubbed for the Summer Olympics, shewas also really happy for getting this much needed break in order to come back stroner than ever to keep kicking butt.

The question of who is better between the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese continues to split the opinions of WNBA fans. And now, four-time champion Sue Bird has weighed in on the debate?
Bird, who was selected as the first overall pick of the 2002 WNBA Draft by the Seattle Storm, won championships in 2004, 2010, 2018 and 2020 highlighting her longevity through two decades as a pro before she headed to Europe.
The 13-time WNBA All-Star is better placed than most to talk about the Clark-Reese debate, as the 22-year-olds continue to trade stats, wins and incredibly high-scoring performance in their debut seasons.
“I don’t do the stat comparison,” Bird said to the soccer star, Megan Rapinoe. “It can help when things are close…
“I just do the eye test, and to me, [Caitlin Clark] is Rookie of the Year. They can both be good. They can both be having great years.”
Reese, drafted seventh overall from the LSU Tigers by the Sky, has posted 13.5 points per game on average through 2024, with 12 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game too, whilst Clark, first pick out of the Iowa Hawkeyes, averages 17.1 points per game, 5.8 rebounds per game and 8.2 assists per game for the Fever.
The exciting prospects were rivals throughout the NCAA too, with Reese beating Clark in the Women’s Division I basketball national championship game, before Clark got her own back one year on in the quarterfinals.
Who do Reese’s Sky play next?
Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky will welcome the Phoenix Mercury to the Wintrust Arena in Illinois next on Thursday, August 15 with the match tipping off at 20:00 ET/17:00 PT and able to be watched via Amazon Prime Video.
