Earlier this week Caitlin Clark was accused of ruining the NBA All-Star weekend for her decision not to take part in the three-point shooting contest with Steph Curry and Sabrina Ionescu, which was ultimately canceled.

“There’s one person and one person only who has ruined NBA All-Star Weekend – and that’s Caitlin Clark,” Fox Sports personality Rob Parker said on his show. “Caitlin Clark has ruined NBA All-Star Weekend. They invited her to be involved in the shooting contest with Steph. Right? And they were gonna make this nice thing go, and give people something to watch.

"She is television ratings gold, right? Everything she’s in, people are watching. That would have been the only reason to watch any of the festivities this weekend. They got a no-name Slam Dunk Contest. They got four All-Star teams with people who aren’t even All-Stars playing. The younger people, the people they picked up off the street, the old veterans, the international players.”

While Parker isn't feeling the love from Clark, her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery certainly is. On Friday afternoon, McCaffery took to his Instagram story with a two-word message for the WNBA superstar.

"Love ya," he said simply with a photo of he and Clark holding hands.

Clark and McCaffery started dating in April 2023, but Clark had to wait until Jan. 2024 before her first showing on McCaffery's Instagram.

"Happy Birthday 22 Wish I was there to celebrate with you - you deserve the best day ❤️ Golden Bday / T Swift year will be the best yet. With all that you’ve already accomplished, there is so much more in store for you and your special self. I admire you in every way and I love you ," he said in a post for her birthday last year.

He kept the annual post coming with another birthday message after the Fever star turned 23 last month.

"Happy 23rd CC ❤️ (finally we’re celebrating together this year )! You have an incredible ability to inspire and lift up those around you, and I am lucky to learn from you every day. Thank you for always being you I love you ," he said.
