Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark showed off a different side of herself over the weekend, grabbing the mic at a team after-party and belting out Chris Brown’s hit “Forever.”
A clip of the moment, shared by WNBA Got Game on X, captured Clark on stage, pointing to the crowd as she sang along with full energy.
“Caitlin Clark singing her heart out at the Indiana Fever’s after party 😂,” the account wrote.
Caitlin Clark, oozing confidence, encouraged fans on the dance floor to join in. The 2024 Rookie of the Year clearly wasn’t worried about hitting every note, and another fan summed it up best: “Singer she is not, but she’s the life of the party.”
It was a rare chance for Clark to enjoy the spotlight again after a season defined more by injuries than highlights. She’s suited up in just 13 games, missing time with a strained quadricep, then a groin strain, before the latter flared up again in July. That setback forced her out of the All-Star Game, and a bone bruise eventually ended her year altogether.
Caitlin Clark officially ruled out for the season
The lighthearted party moment came just days after Caitlin Clark confirmed she won’t return to the court this year. On Thursday, the guard announced she’s shutting it down for the season after multiple injuries kept her from regaining full fitness.
It’s a crushing blow for the Fever, who are still clinging to playoff hopes with two regular-season games left. A win over the Washington Mystics on Sunday could go a long way toward locking up one of the final spots.
Head coach Stephanie White has tried to keep the group steady despite the setbacks.
“They have the experience and have really held this group together,” White said. “They’ve been able to play with all different kinds of lineups and players. They’ve got to continue to take it to another level. We don’t want or need anyone to play outside of themselves.”
Clark joins a long list of key Fever players who have been sidelined for the year, including Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson, and Aari McDonald. With four major contributors gone, Indiana’s depth will be tested in the stretch run.
