This interaction adds to the many moments when the two were seen supporting each other and proving their heartwarming relationship off the court. Gabbie Marshall, who did not declare for the WNBA Draft, attended the draft to support Clark, a projected No.1 pick at that time.

Gabbie Marshall decided to forgo her WNBA eligibility and concluded her basketball career at the collegiate level to continue her studies. Her priority is to pursue a Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy from North Carolina.

Marshall was on hand to see her friend Caitlan Clark score 12 points in her home WNBA debut as the Indiana Fever got the 83-80 win. Clark had a rough shooting night as she shot just 4 of 12, including just two of nine on 3-pointers. However, she did also have eight rebounds and six assists in 31 minutes of action.
