Caitlin Clark Gets Emotional as Fans Share Special Message Ahead of Big Night

Caitlin Clark is again in the news. After her much-awaited WNBA debut, recently a docu-series featuring Clark, former South Carolina Gamecocks Kamilla Cardoso, and UCLA Bruins Kiki Rice premiered in Indianapolis. The series was directed by Peter Manning and had all the special celebrities gracing the red carpet. Amid all the merriment and celebrations was a gang of young girls present at the premiere dressed in Clark’s Indiana Fever jersey.

The five kids were wearing the Fever jersey over their t-shirts and looked in awe of the former NCAA Queen. They also had a message for Clark that got her all emotional.

Caitlin Clark gets emotional seeing her young fans

On being asked what would they say to Clark, one of the girls stated “I love her.” The same was shared by the Indiana Fever’s official X handle. And it caught the attention of Clark, who reshared the tweet with six emotional emoticons.

Clark was paired up with Cardoso and Rice to feature in “Full Court Press.” The docu-series is quite similar to ‘Quarterback’ which followed the NFL stars Kirk Cousins, Patrick Mahomes, and Marcus Mariota throughout the 2022 season. The same idea was pitched to Clark, Rice, and Cardoso who agreed to get their journey featured for the 2023-24 season. 

The series begins with the Hawkeyes game against the DePaul and follows the three athletes throughout the season as per IndyStar. It ends with the WNBA draft where Clark was the first overall pick by the Indiana Fever while Cardoso was the third pick by the Chicago Sky. As for Rice, she just completed her sophomore year and is therefore illegible. 

The best part is that it not only draws attention to the three players but also their families, teammates, and coaches. Thus, it is a comprehensive win for women’s basketball and this docu-series takes it to another level. Fans can now get to know important facts about their favorite team and players. As for Clark, she must be prepping up for the WNBA season.

Caitlin Clark ready to take the next step

Clark made her preseason debut against the Dallas Wings on Friday. Though Clark basketed 21 points, the Fever lost the game by a narrow margin of 76-79. The Fever will next contest against the Atlanta Dream on May 9, and it remains to be seen how they will perform. Clark would by then get her place in the team, understanding the role and taking the next steps proactively.

Clark’s fans would have been happy knowing her response and feeling heard. Meanwhile, Clark would have loved to have her docu-series while gearing up for what lies ahead.
