Caitlin Clark, the standout former All-American point guard from Iowa, celebrated her monumental achievement of being selected first overall by the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA Draft alongside her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery. The couple indulged in the breathtaking views of New York City from the renowned Fleur Room, nestled on the 35th floor of Moxy Chelsea, sipping cocktails and relishing in the momentous occasion. The glass-encased lounge provided a panoramic vista of the Manhattan skyline, offering glimpses of iconic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, where Clark and her fellow draftees posed for pre-draft photos.

Clark, 22, took to her Instagram Story to share their joy, captioning a post with endearing sentiments towards McCaffery, who himself boasts a basketball background as a former member of Iowa’s men’s basketball team and now works as a team assistant for the Indiana Pacers. McCaffery reciprocated the celebration by reposting a photo of Clark from the Pacers and Fever, warmly welcoming her to Indiana.

Accompanying the couple were Clark’s former teammates from Iowa, including Kate Martin, Jada Gyamfi, and Gabbie Marshall, as well as Raina Harmon, an assistant coach for the Hawkeyes, as evidenced by photos circulating on social media platforms.

Martin, who attended the WNBA draft to support Clark, found herself drafted in the second round, 18th overall, by the reigning champion Las Vegas Aces, adding another layer of excitement to the evening.

McCaffery, ever the supportive partner, expressed his admiration for Clark’s draft day ensemble on his social media account, eliciting playful banter and affectionate emojis exchanged between the couple.

Their relationship, which became public in August 2023 through shared photos of a romantic outing on a boat, has been a source of steadfast support for Clark, particularly during her remarkable journey through March Madness 2024, where her stellar performance captivated audiences and propelled women’s college basketball into the spotlight.

Despite Iowa falling short in the NCAA women’s title game to South Carolina, Clark’s record-breaking achievements, including becoming the NCAA Division I all-time scoring leader, have solidified her status as a trailblazer in the sport.

With the WNBA training camps set to commence on April 28 and the season kicking off on May 14, Clark’s anticipation for joining the Fever, under the ownership of Herb Simon, mirrors the excitement of fans eager to witness her transition to the professional stage. As the Fever gear up to face Connecticut in their season opener, Clark and McCaffery’s journey together continues, marked by unwavering support and shared triumphs.
