Fans are talking after a fun video of WNBA rookie Caitlin Clark started going viral this week. It followed the Commissioner's Cup final victory of the Indiana Fever over the Minnesota Lynx on July 2, which broke franchise records. Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis was where the game was played. Though hurt in her groin, Caitlin Clark attended the team celebration following the game. Everyone was talking about her next behavior. A video from inside the locker room showed her doing something many didn’t expect.
Caitlin Clark stuns teammates and Pat McAfee by shotgunning beer after Indiana Fever win
Caitlin Clark is shown shotgunning a beer together with her teammates in the newly viral video. Posted on Instagram, X, and TikTok, the video soon racked up thousands of views. One responder was Pat McAfee, former NFL punter and current ESPN host.
McAfee, who is from Indiana and supports Clark, reposted the video on X with this caption:
“Just saw this video of CC shotgunning a beer during her team’s Commissioner’s Cup celebration last night. CHUGGING BEERS WITH THE SQUAD #LEADER #DAWG #GOTTHEFEVER.”
Clark’s bold beer moment came just after her team won 74–59 against the defending champs. Even though she didn’t play, her energy stood out. Her teammates cheered her on and showed how close this team is.
Clark’s unexpected moment catches the eye of fans and even her boyfriend Connor McCaffrey
Clark is known for being focused and intense. But this playful side surprised many. Even her boyfriend, Connor McCaffrey, may not have seen it coming.
Fans online loved it. Some said it showed her leadership off the court. Even though she didn't score a point, others referred to it as the "highlight of the night.”
The recently appointed captain of the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game was Clark. She told reporters she was proud of her teammates and wanted to soon get back on the court. ESPN and the official WNBA website indicate she is still recuperating from her injury.
The Fever are back on court July 4 against A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces. Clark won’t play that game either. She could return for the game on Saturday, July 6, when they face the Los Angeles Sparks.
