Caitlin Clark wasn’t only celebrating a Fever win Sunday.
Following a solid performance against the Wings, Clark posted a sweet birthday message for her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, to her 3.5 million followers on Instagram.
“Happy happy happy birthday con,” Clark captioned her post. “You make everyday better and I couldn’t be more grateful. may this be the best year yet , I love you.”
Her words accompanied three photos of the couple and a shot of McCaffery playing board games with Clark.
The couple has been together for more than two years now, dating back to their time at Iowa University.
While Clark starred for the Hawkeyes women’s basketball team, McCaffery started 89 games across a six-year career on the men’s side, playing under the tutelage of his father, Fran.
McCaffery averaged 4.5 points per game across 166 career games at Iowa.
McCaffery has since landed a role with Butler men’s basketball as an assistant coach, perfectly keeping him in Indianapolis alongside Clark.
The two are each openly supportive of one another, and Clark even extended that support to the entire Butler team as she recently gifted the entire squad some pairs of her latest player-edition model of the Nike Kobe 5.
Clark had just helped lead Indiana to a win over Dallas before making her heartwarming post for McCaffery.
She posted 14 points while dishing out 13 assists and nabbing five steals in the Fever’s 102-83 win over the Paige Bueckers-led Wings.
Clark has struggled a bit in her sophomore season in the WNBA, both with her play and a nagging groin injury.
She’s currently averaging 16.9 points, 8.6 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game on just 37.6 percent shooting from the field and 28.9 percent from three-point range.
But the win Sunday marked the Fever’s second in a row as they currently sit at 11-10, the sixth-best mark in the WNBA.
