Even before Caitlin Clark went pro, she's been one for grabbing the spotlight since her Iowa days, and this week was no different. Whether it be commenting on her friend's post or being the lucky charm for the Indiana Hoosiers, Clark continues to command attention on and off the court.
Here are 6 headlines in WNBA this week featuring none other than CC.
1. Caitlin Clark’s Drip Gets a Shoutout
Caitlin's Indiana Fever teammate, Shey Peddy, brought the warmth on her Instagram stories after receiving multiple pairs of Caitlin’s signature Nike shoe collection. Peddy’s story, "S/o @caitlinclark22 for the blessings," showed appreciation from fans as Clark reposted Peddy’s story.
2. The Indian Fever Star’s Collab
Lilly has been a loyal Fever partner, and Clark has revealed her personal partnership with them in an Instagram post. It went viral instantly, collecting more than 314,000 likes. Even her teammates joined the comments thread. Lexie Hull wrote, “I love when you post,” while Makayla Timpson and Kate Martin also dropped supportive comments.
3. Caitlin Clark’s Comments Spark a Meme Fest
It began when Sophie Cunningham, sidelined with an MCL injury, posted a “thirst-trap” in August 2025. “Back when my knee was healthy,” Cunningham wrote, wearing a black fringe jacket, cowboy hat, and boots in the image.
Clark couldn't help but drop a tease in the comments. “Jeez, Sophie,” she wrote, and added “Can’t like this,” minutes later. Those two comments started meme threads, and thousands of retweets immediately followed.
4. A’ja Wilson Adds Context to the Clark Olympic Controversy
In TIME’s Athlete of the Year interview, A’ja Wilson addressed how Clark's not making the Olympic roster overshadowed their accomplishments.
Her frustration wasn’t aimed at Clark, but at the hype around the conversation. She said, “Let’s not lose the recipe. Let’s not lose the history. It was erased for a minute. And I don’t like that.”

5. Her Witnessing Indiana Football’s First Title in 58 Years
Clark attended the No. 2 Hoosiers’ win over No. 1 Ohio State, posting, “Don’t worry, I’m cheering for IU FOOTBALL.” Hours later, Indiana broke a 58-year drought and broke a 32-game losing streak. Fans were quick to note that having Clark in the building might have been the secret ingredient the Hoosiers needed to win.
6. Her Project B Decision Sparked the Fanbase
When Sophie Cunningham revealed on her "Show Me Something" podcast that Clark wasn't planning on joining the new Project B league, “She said nooooo”, the internet erupted.
Some fans accused Sophie of oversharing, while others defended her close friendship with Clark. Clark’s career choices could influence the future of not just the Indiana Fever but the entire WNBA landscape amid the CBA negotiations.
