A Caitlin Clark Comment on Sophie Cunningham is Trending

Caitlin Clark missed her second straight game for the Indiana Fever on Friday night. The 23-year-old is still nursing a groin injury that forced her to sit out the highly anticipated matchup against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings.

The Fever, however, were still able to take care of business despite the absence of their superstar guard. Kelsey Mitchell stepped up in a major way, dropping a game-high 32 points on 11-of-17 shooting, seven assists and four triples in 34 minutes of action.

Thanks in large part to Mitchell’s heroics, the Fever were able to secure a 94-86 win to improve to 8-8 on the season.

Sophie Cunningham also played a significant role in head coach Stephanie White’s eight-woman rotation against Dallas. The veteran guard logged 24 minutes off the bench for five points, four rebounds and one triple.

After the win, Cunningham took to Instagram to share some of her favorite photos and videos from the past couple of weeks. As it turns out, some of the snaps appears to have come courtesy of Clark.

Clark did not waste any time jumping into the comments section of her teammate’s post.

“Some of my flics made it huge,” Clark wrote.

It seems that the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year is taking credit for some of the photos Cunningham posted. Clark has taken an interest in photography, which is an unofficial role she took for the team during her recent five-game injury spell in May.

The fans took the opportunity to send their own messages to Clark as they reacted to her comment.

“get well soon, CC!!” a comment on Instagram read.

“love you CC, get well soon!! ❤️” said another.

“Y’all thé best duo I’ve seen. Love you always CC thanks for getting me into watching sports,” a fan wrote.

“can you do a TikTok please!! We love you so much ❤️” a reaction read.

“we all love you goat 🤝🏼” another said.

“I MISS U QUEEN,” a user posted.

The Fever are back in action on Tuesday in the Commissioner’s Cup championship game against the Minnesota Lynx. Clark appears to have a talent behind the camera, but there’s no denying that Indiana would much rather have her on the court.

At this point, however, Clark’s status for that winner-take-all matchup remains up in the air.
