Caitlin Clark may be in a shooting slump, but she hasn’t lost her sense of humor. The Indiana Fever rookie took a playful swipe at teammate Lexie Hull’s fiancé, Will Matthiessen, after he popped up in one of the team’s travel videos.
“@willmatthiessen love the feature,” Caitlin Clark posted on her Instagram story, tagging the Stanford baseball alum. It was a quick, cheeky moment—one that gave fans a look at how loose things still are behind the scenes, even with the Fever in a tough stretch.
Caitlin Clark and Hull have clearly gotten closer as the season’s gone on, and this little post said as much without overdoing it. It showed the kind of chemistry that doesn’t need speeches or press conferences—it just shows up, sometimes in the form of a tagged story and a good-natured rib.
Even with critics loud and headlines piling up, Caitlin Clark hasn’t backed off. Whether she’s firing up teammates, goofing off in travel vids, or just keeping things light, she’s keeping her voice in the mix.
She’s not just trying to find her shot, she’s helping the team breathe when it matters. These little jabs and inside jokes won’t show up on a stat sheet, but they’re part of the grind.
And sometimes, you can find the best stories in places where people often find negativity. Light-hearted moments such as these add to the human side of the super-athletes. They’re just as human, as raw, as the next person.
Caitlin Clark might be struggling to hit shots, but she’s not short on support.
Lexie Hull had her back this week as questions started flying about Caitlin Clark’s recent form. Hull, cool as ever, wasn’t having any of it.
“She’ll be fine. We are not worried about it,” Hull said. “She’s a great shooter, great player, this happens to every great player.”
Caitlin Clark’s been under the microscope all season—from highlight plays to high expectations. But inside the Fever locker room, the mood hasn’t changed.
Hull’s message was clear: the team isn’t rattled. They’ve seen what Caitlin Clark’s capable of, and a cold spell doesn’t change that.
More than anything, it showed how tight this group is becoming. No panic, no drama—just teammates backing each other through the noise.
And sometimes that’s just what someone needs: a reliable voice to push you further when you need it the most.
