Whitlock recently claimed to have an "unhealthy love affair" with the Fever guard. However, his X post included not just Clark, but also Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton.

The podcaster shared a photoshopped picture of Clark and Haliburton sitting across each other with their foreheads touching. The image was monochrome and Haliburton had a guitar in his arms, an edit of Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga from the movie "A Star Is Born." Whitlock's dubbed the Indiana stars as the "greatest love story" in sports.

Whitlock's remark was metaphorical as Clark and Haliburton are in relationships that are public. The Pacers guard is dating his college sweetheart Jade Jones, who he met during their time at Iowa State University.

Meanwhile, Clark is in a relationship with Butler Bulldogs assistant coach and former Iowa Hawkeye Connor McCaffery. They also met in college and have been together since.
