It’s safe to say Caitlin Clark is having a ball during the WNBA’s Olympics break.
The Fever rookie and her teammate, Lexie Hull, surprised fans when they joined country singer Jordan Davis on stage at his concert in Indianapolis on Wednesday, as seen in videos on social media.
Clark — who’s enjoying some much-needed time off after she was not selected for the 12-player Team USA roster competing at the Paris Olympics — and Hull, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft, hyped up the crowd while singing along with Davis to his song, “Buy Dirt.”

“Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull everybody!” Davis shouted before hugging the pair on stage at the Amphitheater.
The moment came after the 36-year-old singer stopped by the Thunder Dome for an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” earlier that day.

Clark and Hull previously spent time together during the break, as seen in a bunch of photos on social media, which showed them on a boat with Fever forward Katie Lou Samuelson.
Clark joked during a Fever practice Tuesday that she could’ve used some more time in the sun.
“The sun. I’m still so pale,” she said when asked about anything she may have been deprived of during the break. “I’m still deprived of the sun.”

Clark’s boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, also shared a photo of her throwing up a peace sign gesture while on a boat with Hull and her boyfriend, Will Matthiessen — a right-handed pitcher out of Stanford, who was a sixth-round draft pick by the Pirates in the 2019 MLB Draft.
The former Hawkeyes guard — who became the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer for Division I men’s and women’s during her senior year at Iowa — previously joked she couldn’t wait to distance herself from the game during her time off.
“I’m on vacation!” Clark quipped during a post-game press conference after her first WNBA All-Star game on July 20. “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.”
The 22-year-old Iowa native finished the All-Star Game with four points, one rebound and 10 assists as she helped Team WNBA defeat Team USA.

It’s been about a year since Clark had significant time off from basketball due to her going from April’s NCAA Championship to the WNBA.
Two weeks after leading Iowa to the NCAA title game against South Carolina — an 87-75 loss for the Hawkeyes — Clark was selected first overall by the Fever.
On Tuesday, Gamecocks head coach Dawn Staley discussed Clark’s omission from this year’s Olympic roster.
“If we had to do it all over again, the way that she’s playing, she would be in really high consideration of making the team because she is playing head and shoulders above a lot of people,” Staley told NBC’s Mike Tirico while at the Summer Games in Paris.
Clark and the Fever return to action at home on Aug. 16 against the Mercury.
