It has been an eventful offseason for Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark. The two-time WNBA All-Star has been busy following an injury-marred second year in the WNBA. Clark played just 13 games in 2025 due to multiple injuries. She averaged 16.5 points on 36.7% shooting, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.6 steals. The 6-foot guard also knocked down 2.2 triples per game on a 27.9% clip.

One of the highlights of Clark’s offseason was her NBA broadcasting debut with NBC . The former Iowa Hawkeyes star served as a “special contributor” for the network in January for a game between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Clark has also been preoccupied with her endorsement deals. The former WNBA Rookie of the Year has multiple partnerships with major brands such as Nike, Wilson and State Farm, to name a few.

On Tuesday, Clark received a cool surprise from Gatorade, one of her endorsement brands. The surprise came courtesy of Indiana Pacers All-Star Tyrese Haliburton.

Haliburton surprised Clark with the newly re-released Rain Berry Gatorade flavor.

“Rain Berry!” Clark said. “Best Gatorade flavor that’s ever been invented right here.”

After trying the drink for the first time in years, the 24-year-old WNBA star said, “Even better than I remember. It’s not even close.”

Haliburton then pointed out that the new packaging includes Clark’s face. Fans across America will soon see the Fever guard’s face whenever they take a drink of the new Rain Berry flavor.

Clark, along with the rest of the WNBA, is still waiting for word on the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) negotiations. The players’ union is still working on a new CBA with the league, and they have not reached common ground just yet. A decision should come soon, and there is a looming risk of a lockout if no agreement is reached.
