Caitlin Clark’s Boyfriend Posts Reaction to WNBA Rookie of the Year Award

Following the Indiana Fever’s first-round loss in the WNBA playoffs, Caitlin Clark was announced as the Rookie of the Year.

The 22-year-old took the league by storm, helping Indiana secure a spot in the WNBA playoffs for the first time since 2016. Despite the Fever having back-to-back seasons with the No. 1 overall pick, they were considered a WNBA title contender with Clark.

After she was announced the Rookie of the Year, her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, posted a reaction to her successful season.

On his Instagram story, McCaffery shared a video edit from Bleacher Report’s X account, which listed the rookie’s historic accomplishments in the caption.
