Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend Connor McCaffery drops 3-word reaction as Fever star makes stunning move during injury layoff

Even though Caitlin Clark has been out of action for over a month now, the Indiana Fever star's brand value hasn't taken a hit. Still the most marketable player in the WNBA, Clark's latest brand collaboration came with drinkware giant Stanley.

On Thursday, the drinkware brand posted a short promotional video on social media, featuring Clark working on her game and keeping herself hydrated with a Stanley sports water bottle.

Clark's boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, posted a three-word reaction:

"Featuring Hinkle btw."

Clark's Fever and Iowa teammates also commented on the post, posting their demands in the comment section. Lexie Hull enquired about the crossbody tumbler.

"Where is the cross body????"

Clark's Iowa teammates Gabbie Marshall and Jada Gyamfi also commented.

"I want one," Marshall commented.

"Why didn't you make a Stanley jug/purse???" Gyamfi wrote.

Caitlin Clark has been out of action for almost a month and a half due to a groin injury. She suffered the injury in a game against the Connecticut Sun on July 15. With two weeks remaining before the playoffs, Clark is reportedly making progress towards her return.

This is Clark's second groin injury this season.
