WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark made the 1,691.5 mile trip from Indiana to Arizona to support her boyfriend at a basketball clash on Thanksgiving night alongside her family.

The 2024 Rookie of the Year is enjoying a well-earned break from her commitments on the court after enjoying a landmark maiden professional season. After being selected by the Indiana Fever as the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, the point guard delivered on her promise – breaking several league records in her debut campaign.

After her team fell to defeat in the playoffs in September, Clark has enjoyed a number of pastimes including working on her golf game during the offseason. This week, the 22-year-old also made the visit to Mullett Arena in Arizona to cheer on her boyfriend in the crowd as Butler University faced the Northwestern Wildcats.

Enjoying some college basketball from the comfort of her seat this time around, the former Iowa prodigy instead was spotted encouraging beau Connor McCaffery on Thanksgiving night. The Bulldogs assistant coach helped guide his team to a narrow 71-69 victory in front of his girlfriend.

Clark made the trip to Tempe alongside her brothers Blake and Colin, as their parents Brent and Anne also attended the game in a show of support. McCaffery has been present to cheer on his love at several Fever games in recent months, with the pair having first embarked on a romance back in April of last year.

Previous to this, he marked his love’s birthday back in January, saying on social media: “Wish I was there to celebrate with you – you deserve the best day. With all that you’ve already accomplished, there is so much more in store for you and your special self. I admire you in every way and I love you.”

In another wholesome post, he paid tribute to his girlfriend on their first anniversary on April 24, as he expressed his admiration for the WNBA star, saying: “One year w the best doing life w u has been easy, and you never cease to amaze me.. can’t wait to watch u live out ur dreams in person love you.”

Likewise, Clark followed suit in July as she marked her boyfriend’s 26th birthday with a moving post, saying: “Celebrating you is easy. Thankful to have someone as selfless and as loving as you in my life. May this be the year you finally find a way to outshoot me. Love you always.”

The loved-up pair have enjoyed a host of public outings together in recent times, making a red carpet debut together as a couple at the Golden Gala last month. They have also been spotted making public appearances at Indiana Pacers games, alongside attending a New York Yankees game together.
