There's nothing quite like the bond between former teammates, and Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin proved it once again with a heartwarming postgame embrace that had fans reaching for tissues.
After the Indiana Fever's 87-78 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday, the two former Iowa Hawkeyes stars found each other on the court for their now-trademark reunion hug. The moment was pure magic — they held each other for several seconds, whispered in each other's ears, and walked away with smiles that could light up any arena.
This beautiful tradition has followed the duo through every stop in their WNBA journeys. Whether Martin was with the Las Vegas Aces, the Golden State Valkyries, or now the Los Angeles Sparks, these two make sure to carve out time for their special postgame moment. It's the kind of friendship that reminds us why we love sports — and why we love wearing our favorite players' gear.
Clark, who continues to electrify the league, put on a show with 24 points, nine assists, four rebounds, two steals, and a block. Martin, currently on a developmental contract with the Sparks, watched from the sidelines but still made sure to share that unforgettable moment with her best friend.
The best part? Fans won't have to wait long for the next chapter. The Fever and Sparks are set to face off again on Saturday, June 27 in Indiana, followed by another matchup on Wednesday, July 8 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Two more chances to see this incredible friendship in action.
