There were no basketball jerseys to be found as Caitlin Clark and her boyfriend Connor McCaffery went glam for a charitable date night in Indiana.

Clark, 22, and McCaffery, 26, walked the red carpet at the Golden Gala fundraiser, which benefits the Indiana Pacers Foundation, on Sunday, Oct. 20.

The WNBA star wore a strapless black dress and silver heels for the date night, matching with her boyfriend’s grey suit jacket and black dress pants. The event took place at the swanky Indianapolis restaurant Commission Row.

The Indiana Fever shared photos of the couple on the red carpet at the gala, writing, “@caitlinclark22 spent the evening at the Golden Gala fundraiser benefiting the Pacers Foundation last night.”

Clark was also spotted in photos from the gala with Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton — who won the gold medal with Team USA in Paris this summer — during the event.

In a photo shared by the Pacers, the NBA team called Haliburton, 24, and Clark “Indy’s point guards” in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Clark is enjoying her first WNBA offseason since the Fever were eliminated from the playoffs in September.

Clark and McCaffery, the son of legendary Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, met as student-athletes at the University of Iowa before pursuing their respective careers in basketball.

McCaffery worked as a team assistant for the Pacers last season — while his girlfriend was selected first overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft for their sister team the Fever — before taking an assistant coaching position on Butler University’s men’s basketball team this fall.

Clark’s first season in the WNBA was nothing short of historic. The Fever star started all 40 games for Indiana in her rookie season, averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists (a WNBA high, per the league), 5.7 rebounds and 1.33 steals.

The WNBA All-Star also led the rookie class in assists, points, steals and minutes played this season, and she also had the league’s second-highest percentage in free throw shooting with 90.6% accuracy.
