Clark is dating former Iowa men’s basketball player Connor McCaffery, and they have been together since college.

 

He currently works as a team assistant for the Indiana Pacers, so he also has time off from the NBA.

They enjoyed some time out on the water with some of Clark’s WNBA friends.

McCaffrey was pictured sitting next to Will Matthiessen, a former pitcher at Stanford who is currently in the Pittsburgh Pirates system.

He is dating Clark’s Fever teammate, Lexie Hull, who was seen in pictures alongside the rookie.

Clark and Hull shared big smiles while floating in the water on a large, yellow raft.

Hull shared in a Tik Tok video before the All Star break that she was travelling to Mexico with some teammates for the break.

It is possible that Mexico is where Clark and her boyfriend are currently out vacationing.
Clark was thrilled to go on vacation after the All Star game, sharing that she needed to get away from basketball for a bit.

“I’m on vacation!” Clark said.

“Alright, last time for a month, get your questions in.

“I honestly can’t wait to not touch a basketball for a while. I’ve shot too many times in the past year.””

After making a deep run in March Madness and going right into the WNBA, Clark has had basically no time off from playing basketball.

She wouldn’t have gotten this time off from the WNBA if she was selected for the Olympic roster, but she was snubbed in an unpopular decision.

However, Fever head coach Christie Sides shared that she is happy that Clark is getting the time off.

“I’m loving that she’s going to get a breather and get some rest, just for our push after this Olympic break,” she said.

“I think it’s great for her, she’s just been going so hard for quite some time now, and this is just going to help her so much just to kind of decompress.”

While Clark is relaxing in Mexico, her star rookie counterpart Angel Reese travelled to Europe to watch Team USA men’s basketball play.

She has been seen taking in the action while LeBron James and the other stars of Team USA ball out.

Reese also was not chosen to represent Team USA, but will likely join Clark on the roster at the next summer Olympics.
