By now, Caitlin Clark’s love for the NFL is no secret to anybody. This love stemmed from her father’s passionate fandom of the Kansas City Chiefs. Born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa, she lived just three hours away from Kansas City, so following them throughout her childhood was a natural choice. Even now, with her busy schedule, she doesn’t leave any opportunity to catch a game or even show support on social media. Recently, as the NFL side launched new gear in collaboration with Fanatics, our Fever ace wasn’t far behind with a four-word reaction.

The hoopster’s comment teased the possibility of her attending the Chiefs’ game against the Washington Commanders at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. While it is unclear how many games she has actually attended, in the 2025-26 NFL season, she has been spotted at least twice.

Clark’s presence during the Lions-Chiefs game went viral, as she sat alongside Travis Kelce’s fiancée, Taylor Swift. She also attended an Indianapolis Colts game with fellow Fever players and was handed a Colts jersey that she did not end up wearing! It caused a significant stir of emotions on social media.

On the above-mentioned Instagram post, though, the renowned fashion designer replied to Caitlin Clark’s comment. “@caitlinclark22 chiefs fit tomorrow 👀,” Nahmias responded.

However, tonight’s game might be her last one for a while if the reports are to be believed. According to recent reports, popular NBA trainer Chris Brickley is rumored to partner up with Caitlin Clark this offseason. Brickley has a notable resume among NBA stars. He has worked with players such as LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, and others. In his appearance on The Line podcast, the trainer revealed that he and Caitlin Clark have been in discussions for a long time, and there were even plans to work together before the 2025 WNBA season!

However, it seems like the partnership may finally come to fruition this offseason.

“So I’m hoping now, this offseason, I’m hoping that she’ll come to New York and we’ll get some work in. Man, she’s the reason why the WNBA has become so big. I’d love to work with her. She’s an amazing talent… and I love her competitiveness, too,” the hoops trainer said.

Although there are no confirmations yet, if the two can link up, it could be a massive boost for the Indiana Fever. As it is, there is significant concern about CC’s conditioning. However, if she is working with one of the best trainers out there, expect to see a more efficient front to her game soon!

What are Caitlin Clark’s plans for this offseason?

After witnessing her on the bench for most of the 2025 WNBA season, everyone was eager to see how Caitlin Clark recovered from her injury and what her plans were for the offseason. The majority of the time since then has been spent in recovery and rehab with the Indiana Fever’s medical staff. Recent reports have hinted that Clark may be ready to go full throttle in training soon.

There were even brief rumors that she planned to play in the second season of Unrivaled, but they were not true. League President Alex Bazzell made it clear that they would love to have her services in the newly built league, but they wouldn’t “pressure” her.

Many have also speculated whether she would commit to Team USA’s games. Even if she is healthy, given the time she has missed, it will be vital for her to have a sort of preseason or training camp before she can return to play competitive basketball again. Qualifying games for the 2026 FIBA World Cup run from March 11 to 17, and though the US qualified as a top-six team at Americup, it’s possible they will play in the upcoming fixtures anyway.

Whether Clark’s offseason fitness improves through scrimmages with Chris Brickley, Fever practice games, hooping with Team USA, or straight into the 2026 WNBA season remains to be seen.

For now, the focus should be on ensuring that, whenever she returns, the ramp-up is gradual so there are no setbacks in her recovery. Sure, the next season is far away, but with the kind of soft tissue injuries she had to deal with throughout the season, there is going to be an element of risk involved.
