Caitlin Clark is definitely enjoying herself during this extended break from the WNBA.

The Indiana Fever rookie is finally taking a break after nearly a year of non-stop basketball, and the first thing she did was jump into a bikini immediately.

The Fever rookie and her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, are on vacation together and enjoying the warm lake weather.

This week, McCaffery — who currently works as a team assistant for the Indiana Pacers — took to his Instagram story and shared several pictures of Caitlin Clark rocking a two-piece brown bikini while on a floatation device in the middle of the water.

The first picture shows Caitlin Clark and Will Matthiessen giving a peace sign as you can see the top portion of Clark’s bikini.

The former Hawkeyes is right in front of Matthiessen, who is a right-handed pitcher out of Stanford, who was a sixth-round pick by the Pirates in the 2019 MLB draft.

Matthiessen is dating Clark’s Fever teammate, guard Lexie Hull, who is also with them.

Caitlin Clark and Lexis Hull could be seen in another picture together, smiling on a large yellow raft in the water. That picture gives a full look of Clark in her bikini. Hull appears to be wearing a red bikini.

 

Caitlin Clark Couldn’t ‘Wait to Not Touch a Basketball For a While’

Caitlin Clark is a beast when it comes to being on the court, but even she gets tired sometimes.

Caitlin helped lead the Iowa women’s basketball team to back-to-back championship games, which means she played the most games you can in women’s college basketball for two years in a row.

Her final season ended in April 2024, and the Indiana Fever began their season in May of 2024.

According to the IndyStar, Caitlin was ready to not touch a basketball for a while.

“I honestly can’t wait to not touch a basketball for a while. I’ve shot too many times in the past year. I think it’s hard as a professional athlete at times, like people do always realize I feel like an individual just like all of you. I’m just the same human. I go about my same daily life, I do all the things that you do, I just play basketball on top of that .”
