Caitlin Clark is making the most of her first offseason in the WNBA, being by her loved ones. However, while she enjoys her break, her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, remains busy as an assistant coach for Butler. But the Indiana Fever star isn’t letting him tread alone. Be it choosing the Bulldogs game over the Hawkeyes or the Thanksgiving celebration, Clark has her priorities clear.
Her latest appearance at the Ariza Tipoff was a special one, as the 2024 ROTY brought her family along to enjoy some Butler basketball. Seated among the audience, Clark had her brothers on her right and her parents on her left, creating an endearing family moment. However, supporting the 22-year-old Iowa native and her boyfriend came with a small sacrifice—Clark’s family delayed their Thanksgiving celebration to make it to the game.

Caitlin Clark’s Telling Thanksgiving Gesture for Her Boyfriend
Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark spent part of her Thanksgiving doing the thing she loves and with the people she loves the most. Well, technically, she was not playing basketball since the WNBA is currently on an offseason break. Instead, the 22-year-old was seen catching a college hoops game on Thursday night.
Clark was in attendance for another Butler University game, which is where her boyfriend Connor McCaffery is employed as an assistant coach for the Bulldogs. This time around, however, the WNBA All-Star made the trip to Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona to support her significant other.
The cameras caught Clark in the stands cheering on for McCaffery and the Bulldogs as they took on the Northwestern Wildcats on Thanksgiving night.
Clark is currently 1,691.5 miles away from her Indianapolis home to catch the game on Thanksgiving night. The kicker here is that she even brought her whole family with her. In the photo above, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year is seated beside her two brothers, Blake and Colin, as well as her parents, Brent and Anne.
The fact that she made the trip all the way to Tempe, Arizona to be with McCaffery is already a telling gesture in itself, but to have her whole family with her for the game on one of the biggest holidays of the year says a lot.
McCaffery has been very supportive of Clark’s career, having watched several Fever games last season. This time around, it’s the former Iowa superstar who’s playing the role of a supportive girlfriend.
According to Yahoo! Entertainment, Clark and McCaffery started dating in April 2023. It has now been over a year and a half since they have been in a high-profile relationship, and it seems that things are as good as ever between the couple.
