- Caitlin Clark Has Sideline Exchange With NFL Star During Fever-Valkyries Game
Caitlin Clark
was in street clothes yet again on Sunday as she missed her 18th game in a row due to a groin injury. The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year came to support her team from the bench as the Indiana Fever
took on the Golden State Valkyries
in a road game at Chase Center.
There was no shortage of big names in attendance for the matchup, which included one particular NFL star sitting courtside.
The cameras caught Clark having a brief exchange with San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, who happens to be a University of Iowa alumnus like Clark. Kittle has been a fan of Clark since her college days, and the two-time All-Pro TE could not let the opportunity to watch the Fever
in action in his adopted hometown pass.
After sharing a warm hug with Kittle, Clark also greeted the Niners star's party, which included his wife, Claire Kittle, as well as Kyle Juszczyk and his wife, Kristin Juszczyk.
It is worth noting that Kristin Juszczyk's Off Season apparel brand recently announced its venture into the WNBA
. The Fever was named as one of the six initial teams that will have Off Season merchandise. Indiana star Sophie Cunningham
was already seen
wearing one of Juszczyk's pieces during a recent game.
As for Clark, the 23-year-old still has no timetable for her return. She appears to be making progress
in her road to recovery, but the Fever have yet to confirm when she will be back on the court.
