Even away from the hardwood, Caitlin Clark finds a way to keep fans entertained—and this time, it came through a lighthearted style exchange with teammate and close friend Kate Martin.

Martin recently turned her tunnel walk into a fashion poll, asking fans to help her pick between different outfits provided by Athleta.

“Tunnel walk fit check…pending

@athleta came through with the options, but now I need you to make the call. Drop your vote in the comments! #AthletaPartner #PowerOfShe,” – Kate Martin on X

While hundreds of fans weighed in, the most notable response came from Clark herself, who didn’t waste any time in making her pick.

“Outfit 2 for sure.” – Caitlin Clark

Her quick reply was met with a grateful response from Martin.

“Thanks g.” – Kate Martin

The fans quickly reacted and loved the exchange. Little exchanges while off the court can show how they are unshy of each other on court.

For Caitlin Clark, the interaction was another reminder of how much her words carry weight—not just for her millions of supporters, but also for her teammates. And for Martin, having Clark back her style choice gave the lighthearted poll an even bigger spotlight.

Fever Make Roster Move Amid Caitlin Clark’s Recovery From Groin Injury

The Indiana Fever made a small but telling roster move as Caitlin Clark continues to recover from a groin injury. With the team navigating depth issues, a decision had to be made between Odyssey Sims and Kyra Lambert.

WNBA observer Sha Hartley hinted that Caitlin Clark’s progress may have influenced the outcome.

“Caitlin must be coming back sooner than expected. They were only going to be allowed to keep either Odyssey or Kyra, not both.” – Sha Hartley on X

The Fever ultimately opted to part ways with Lambert while keeping Sims on a hardship deal, signaling they’re preparing for Caitlin Clark’s return. Her absence has been felt in both scoring and floor management, and getting her back healthy could stabilize the Fever as they push through a challenging stretch of the season.

Fever fans can’t help but be hopeful that there is a clear way back for Caitlin Clark despite the number of times that she’d been sidelined. The Fever hasn’t been the most consistent bunch thus far. But a play-offs push is still not out of their hands if they play their cards right.

They’ve already said they’ve adjusted even without their star player, the Fever. But if they want to force their way into play-off contention, they need all hands on deck.
