- WNBA. Caitlin Clark 'dumps' boyfriend Connor McCaffery and the consequences for him are dire
Caitlin Clark, fresh off her dazzling rookie season in the WNBA, is making waves-but this time, it's not for her on-court heroics. The Indiana Fever star stirred the pot online after poking fun at her former Iowa teammates, prompting a tongue-in-cheek threat of being "blocked" on social media.
The drama unfolded on TikTok when current Iowa players Jada Gyamfi and Hannah Stuelke posted a lighthearted dance video. Clark, known for her playful personality as much as her basketball dominance, took to the comments section to deliver some advice: "More film and sleeping. Less TikTok."
Gyamfi wasn't about to let the jab slide, responding with a playful warning: "I'm so close to blocking you on socials." While clearly made in jest, the exchange highlights the ongoing camaraderie between Clark and her former teammates.
Clark's rise to stardom has been meteoric. During her time at Iowa, she shattered records, becoming the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history while guiding the Hawkeyes to consecutive National Championship appearances. Her transition to the WNBA has been just as electrifying; she was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 Draft and claimed Rookie of the Year honors after a dominant debut season.
Now in her first professional offseason, Clark has taken full advantage of her downtime. When she's not needling friends online, she's been spotted poking fun at fellow sports stars, including Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton, whom she teased over an unflattering photo of his toes.
Iowa keeps rolling without Clark
While Clark enjoys her offseason antics, her former Iowa team hasn't missed a beat. Ranked No. 17 nationally, the Hawkeyes have opened their season with an 8-0 record, powered by standout performances from Stuelke and Gyamfi. Stuelke has been a force, averaging 14.5 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, while Gyamfi has contributed in a smaller role.
The trio shared two years together at Iowa before Clark made the leap to the pros, but the bond clearly remains strong. Despite her cheeky remarks, it's evident Clark still keeps a close eye on her alma mater's success.
The Hawkeyes face their next test against undefeated Tennessee on December 7, while Clark prepares for another WNBA campaign. Whether she'll tone down her social media trolling remains to be seen-but if not, she might just find herself blocked for good.
