"Absolute legend" - George Kittle's wife Claire hails WNBA star Caitlin Clark after stunning performance during Fever-Brazil game

George Kittle's wife, Claire, hailed the WNBA star Caitlin Clark for her phenomenal performance in a preseason game on Sunday. The Indiana Fever player stole the limelight against Brazil as she recorded 16 points, six rebounds, and five assists to help the Indiana Fever win the game, 108-44.

Claire Kittle, who couldn’t watch the game live as she was traveling, later reshared a video posted by the Indiana Fever on her Instagram story on Tuesday and added a heartfelt caption calling Clark an “absolute legend.”

"I was travelling when this was happening but need to take a moment to acknowledge yet again the absolute legend @caitlinclark22 is. How freaking cool is this," Mrs Kittle wrote in the caption of the IG story.

Like Caitlin Clark, Claire Kittle also played basketball at the University of Iowa, which is where she and her husband George met. She averaged 1.6 points and 1.9 rebounds per game over her four years with the Hawkeyes.

Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, had a remarkable rookie season last year. She was named the WNBA Rookie of the Year and was also honored as the AP Female Athlete of the Year in 2024.
