Caitlin Clark has been one of the biggest stars in the WNBA over the past two seasons.

Clark is early into her WNBA career, but playing alongside Aliyah Boston and several other stars on the Indiana Fever, she's put her team in title contention.

This season, Clark has missed ample time due to injury. Boston has been leading the way for the Fever with the help of Sophie Cunningham, Kelsey Mitchell and others.

While the Fever have found success with Clark out of the lineup, her bond with Boston has been Indiana's driving factor over the past two seasons.

Boston recently spoke on her relationship with Clark, sharing insight into their pregame ritual with a hug and a couple of exchanged words.

"Even though she's been out for a while, I make sure I get my pre-game hug," Boston said. "I think it's just nice to kind of just give that confidence to each other before every game and we just continue to do that."
