Caitlin Clark picks a new team with the Kansas City Chiefs out of the playoff race.

With her beloved Kansas City Chiefs out of the playoffs, Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark is cheering for one of their AFC rivals to win it all.

Caitlin Clark is a well-known fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. She even watched the Chiefs’ Week 6 ‘Sunday Night Football’ home game against the Detroit Lions with Taylor Swift at Arrowhead Stadium.

But the Chiefs were officially eliminated from playoff contention with a Week 15 home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. In that game, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a season-ending ACL tear. At 6-10, Kansas City has also suffered its first losing season since 2012.

So, who does the face of the WNBA have with her Chiefs out of the postseason race?

During an appearance on Jason and Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, Caitlin Clark revealed that she’ll cheer for the New England Patriots to win Super Bowl 60.

“Honestly, like, I’m a Drake Maye fan,” Caitlin Clark said. “I’ll probably be like, pulling for the Patriots.”

Clark added that she could “root for” Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold. Seattle would clinch the top seed in the NFC with a win over the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday.

Caitlin Clark Missed The Majority Of Her Sophomore Season

Clark had a dazzling rookie season for the ages, 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game. Unfortunately, her highly anticipated sophomore season was derailed by various injuries.

The No. 1 pick of 2024 missed 31 of Indiana’s 44 regular-season games. She averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game.

Even though Clark missed most of the year, Indiana finished 24-20 to end a nine-year playoff drought. They upset the Atlanta Dream in the opening round before bowing out to the Las Vegas Aces in the second round.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
