Caitlin Clark received plaudits on social media this Friday following a classy act after a subpar performance against the Atlanta Dream on Thursday night.
Clark and the Indiana Fever lost to Atlanta earlier this week but got revenge despite a less-than-spectacular night from the 2024 No. 1 overall pick.
The Dream held Clark to just 11 points, with the former Iowa star adding six assists and four rebounds. However, her teammate, Natasha Howard, had a big night, leading all scorers with 26 points and firing Indiana to an 81-76 win.
Caitlin couldn’t have been all that disappointed, given that her team still managed to win despite her uncharacteristic performance. But she’s still being praised for what she did after the game.
Caitlin Clark Made A Young Fan’s Night
Cameras caught Clark taking off her shoes and signing them for a young fan, who was immensely pleased to receive such a gift from the most famous female basketball player in the world.

The Fever are 2-1 to start the season after splitting two games with the Dream and winning their opener against the Chicago Sky. They are off to a much better start in 2025, having gone 0-5 in their first five games last season and ending the month of May with just one win in nine outings.
Despite the poor start, Clark and the Fever finished the regular season 19-12 to make the playoffs for the first time since 2016, ending the WNBA’s longest-ever postseason drought.
They’re now looking to improve on that and possibly go all the way.
