Fever’s Caitlin Clark Sends Heartfelt Reaction to Reunion with Valkyries’ Kate Martin
In a touching moment during the WNBA season, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark shared an emotional response to reuniting with her longtime friend and former Iowa teammate, Kate Martin, who now plays for the Las Vegas Valkyries. The two reunited on the court during a recent matchup, and their bond was on full display before and after the game.
Clark and Martin developed a strong friendship during their years at the University of Iowa, where they helped lead the Hawkeyes to back-to-back NCAA championship appearances. Despite now playing for rival teams, the pair have maintained their close relationship off the court. When asked about seeing Martin again, Clark didn’t hold back her feelings.
“It was really special,” Clark said in a post-game interview. “Kate is like family to me. We’ve been through so much together, and seeing her living her dream in the WNBA is incredible. I’m so proud of her.”
The two exchanged warm hugs and smiles before tip-off, and cameras caught them laughing and chatting after the final buzzer. Fans of both players were thrilled to witness the reunion, sharing heartfelt messages across social media.
Clark’s comments served as a reminder that while the WNBA is filled with intense competition, it’s also a league built on deep connections and mutual respect. The friendship between Clark and Martin continues to inspire young athletes, showing that rivalries on the court can’t break true bonds formed through years of hard work and shared goals.
