The Kansas City Chiefs showed support for Caitlin Clark by posting an encouraging message on Instagram along with a throwback photo of Clark as a kid wearing Chiefs gear. Clark, a guard for the University of Iowa basketball team, has made it to the final four of the women’s 2024 tournament and is set to face off against the University of Connecticut. Throughout the tournament, Clark has received a lot of support for her stellar performance on the court, where she has shown her skills in making clutch shots and scoring points for her team. She is currently the all-time leading scorer in the NCAA.
Despite having one more year of college eligibility left, Clark has announced that she will enter the WNBA draft after this season. She expressed her gratitude to everyone who has supported her during her time at Iowa, including her teammates, coaches, trainers, staff, and fans. Clark is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the women’s draft, with the Indiana Fever being the first team to make a selection. In addition to joining the WNBA, Clark has also received a $5 million offer from Ice Cube’s Big3 Basketball League, which reportedly would not affect her WNBA eligibility.
Ice Cube made the offer to Clark public, stating that the Big3 made a historic offer to her because she is a generational athlete who could achieve great success in the league. Despite the offer, Clark remains focused on her current journey in the NCAA tournament and her future in the WNBA. As she prepares to face off against the University of Connecticut, Clark continues to receive support from fans and sports organizations, including the Kansas City Chiefs, who are rooting for her to succeed in the tournament. With her talent and determination, Clark is poised to make a significant impact in women’s basketball at both the college and professional levels.
