Caitlin Clark shared a playful four-word response to Kate Martin’s outfit choice, keeping fans entertained during her injury recovery while maintaining her close bond with her former Iowa teammate.

Caitlin Clark might have been down and out with an injury. But that is not stopping her from having some fun with her former teammates. After all, the 23-year-old does not have much to do at the moment than to wait for her groin to recover. The Fever star has been out for 20 games this season. With no confirmed return timeline set, Clark is keeping busy by making fashion choices for her teammates.

Fans expected the 2024 Rookie of the Year to push Indiana toward a championship run this season. But as per the official update, she has just commenced with her endurance training. However, the face of the WNBA is making sure that she remains jovial even in adverse conditions. And thus, when she saw her former Iowa teammate, Kate Martin, ask for some fashion advice, the Fever guard could not resist chiming in.

Caitlin Clark Picks Outfit For Kate Martin

Back in Iowa, both Martin and Clark were teammates. While they played together for four seasons, the duo struck a close bond of friendship. Clark joined the WNBA last season with Indiana, while Martin went to the Las Vegas Aces in the draft. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Valkyries picked Martin during the December expansion draft.

Recently, the 25-year-old took to her Instagram and asked for some fashion advice from her followers. Showing off a couple of options, Martin looked confused about which attire she must choose for Tuesday’s game. She further detailed that the renowned clothing brand Athleta has sent her two of their outfits for the tunnel walk.

As the video rolled on, Martin flaunted both the Athleta outfits. The first one was light-blue in color with both the pants and shirt having a monochromatic tone. However, the second outfit consisted of greyish black pants, coupled with a black jacket and a white shirt. And this was the outfit that Clark thought would look best on Martin.

Outfit 2 for sure,” Clark answered.

 


And Martin, too, seemed to have liked what her fellow teammate chose for her. She immediately responded with a Thanks g.” Surely, this was one of the lighthearted exchanges that the Fever star had this season. After all, she did not have a lot of happy moments owing to her injury. In fact, one of her recent reactions also sparked speculations among fans about how pained she is right now. Meanwhile, a recent update regarding Kyra Lambert has injected some glimmer of hope into the Indiana fans’ minds.

However, in a recent report, it was revealed that Fever has released Lambert. And instantly, the fans’ rumor mills started to churn.

The hoops nation started to speculate that there would be no plausible reason for Indiana to waive Lambert this soon. Except if they have already gotten the green signal about Caitlin Clark’s return. Now, these are just rumors and nothing has been confirmed yet. As of now, one can only wait and watch.
