On Saturday, Clark shared a sweet post for her boyfriend including some jokes towards him.

“Happy Birthday Con! Celebrating you is easy 🙂 thankful to have someone as selfless and as loving as you in my life,” Clark wrote.

“May this be the year you finally find a way to outshoot me 😉 Love you always.”

McCaffrey fired back with some jokes of his own in the comments.

“And I’ll keep letting you win those shooting contests!!!!!” he wrote.

Clark and the Indiana Fever are on a two game win streak, with their record up to 11-14.

They took down the Minnesota Lynx and the Phoenix Mercury in two strong displays.

Against the Mercury Clark went for 20 points with 13 assists and six rebounds.

She performed well again against the Lynx, going for 17 points, six assists, and three rebounds.

Clark also took home an ESPY during the week, being awarded the “record-breaking” award.

“Yeah I didn’t know that until my little brother sent it to me this morning,” she said to Clutch Points.

“I think it’s super cool. I think I probably shouldn’t have been the first woman to win that award, in my eyes, just because I grew up supporting so many different female athletes that I idolized and I loved.

“The amount of records that I saw people break and win. To me, how did Serena Williams never win that award? That’s crazy just thinking about things like that.

“Hopefully it’s the start to women getting more recognition and their accomplishments being recognized more.

“Obviously, it’s cool but it’s not something you would have guessed, honestly. But for me, it’s just something I’m really grateful for.”

Clark shared how happy she was that women’s basketball was such a focus of the show.

“Something that really stood out to me was like how much women’s basketball was a part of the show. I think it shows where women’s basketball is going and obviously women’s athletics in general,” Clark said.

“Obviously Serena [Williams] did a tremendous job hosting. I think that was great. But, to me, Juju [Watkins] won, A’ja [Wilson] won, I won a couple.

“I think it just shows the excitement around the game and how many people watch and pay attention and where it’s going to go.”
