'I’m So Proud Of You': Caitlin Clark Shows Love To Fever Teammate Aliyah Boston With Heartfelt Shoutout
Indiana Fever’s Aliyah Boston (7), Caitlin Clark (22) and Kelsey Mitchell (0) take a phot before the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday, July 19, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Caitlin Clark couldn’t resist pouring out the feels for her teammate, Aliyah Boston. After Boston dropped two monster games against Seattle and LA—27 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals in one, then 22 points, 11 boards, 4 assists, 6 steals in the next—she posted a slick IG story with the caption: “Hoopin and vibing

.” Not wanting to keep that energy bottled, Clark commented back: “So proud of you

.” 

Boston’s been a total rock for the Fever this season. Slated just over $233K on her rookie deal, she’s averaging a tidy stat line—15.6 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game—that’s a big reason the Fever are sitting comfy at 21–18 near playoff territory.  – Sportskeeda

Caitlin Clark showing love—especially from the sidelines—is proof that true leadership transcends the scoreboard. Off the court, Caitlin Clark isn’t just a star scorer; she’s a team glue, elevating vibes and spirits. She may have been sidelined with injury, but that connection stays tight as a vintage pair of Jordans.

Caitlin Clark Ruled Out of Sunday’s Game in San Francisco

Caitlin Clark is officially ruled out for Sunday’s showdown in San Francisco against the Valkyries, marking her 17th–18th consecutive game missed with that persistent groin injury. The team’s injury report—via Chloe Peterson on X—said:

“Game status report for Fever’s game tomorrow against the Valkyries now includes Chloe Bibby again… Caitlin Clark remains out.” 

Clark’s been a no-show since a right groin injury on July 15, and a later bone bruise in her left ankle hasn’t helped. She’s still working through non-contact drills but isn’t back in live action yet. Her coach, Stephanie White, has made it clear: they need sustainable performance—not just one or two passes or shots, but proof she can handle fatigue and contact across multiple practice sessions before returning. 

Fans are feeling the weight too. One Redditor voiced it bluntly:

“If CC isn’t 100 % fully healthy… I’d just shut her down for the rest of the season. It’d be best for her long term.”

With only a handful of regular-season games left before Sept 11, the team’s facing a tough call. They might be better off letting Caitlin cool down and recharge fully. After all, when healthy, Caitlin Clark still brings that MVP-level spark—and they’ll need her intact for next season’s real playoff push.

Could the Caitlin Clark 2025 saga end here?
