It’s official! Indiana is buzzing with excitement as Caitlin Clark, the incredible No. 1 draft pick, joins the Indiana Fever. And here’s the twist: her longtime boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, is already making waves as an assistant with the Indiana Pacers. It’s a match made in basketball heaven!

This story keeps getting better! Patrick McCaffery, Connor’s brother, is making waves by committing to Butler for his final year of college hoops. Departing from Iowa, where he played under his dad, Coach Fran McCaffery, Patrick took to Instagram with a heartfelt “It’s been real IC,” alongside snaps with Clark and Connor. Indiana is in for a real treat with the McCaffery brothers and Clark bringing their basketball brilliance together!

Caitlin Clark’s selection by the Fever was the worst-kept secret in sports, following a college career that shattered records. And ending up in Indianapolis? It seems like destiny. In an interview with Hawk Central, Connor detailed his role with the Pacers, from playing dummy defense to running the scout team. He’s putting in the work, showing that behind every great player is an equally hard-working partner.

Let’s not overlook the royal welcome Caitlin received from Colts legend Peyton Manning. In an interview with IndyStar, Caitlin expressed how having Connor in the same city eased her transition. “It’s great, obviously it makes the transition a little bit easier,” she said. “You’ve got people that know the city, and obviously Connor being there is tremendous. I couldn’t imagine a better place to start my professional career.”
