Patrick Mahomes’ love for Caitlin Clark seems to be contagious. In addition to his team supporting the Indiana Fever star, his wife, Brittany Mahomes is also a fan. In early June 2024, Brittany took to her Instagram stories to shower Clark with encouragement after the burgeoning WNBA star was shoved to the ground by Chennedy Carter during a matchup with the Chicago Sky. “[Caitlin Clark] keep doing your thing!!” Brittany wrote, per US Weekly. “You’re a baller and it’s incredible to see what you’re doing for the game and women’s sports!!”
As for Clark’s thoughts on the encounter? She was caught off guard. “I wasn’t expecting it,” Clark said (via CBS Sports). “It is what it is. It’s a physical game. Go make the free throw and execute on offense, and I feel like that’s kind of what we did.” Days later, Carter doubled down on her decision to get physical with Clark. “I’m a competitor, and I’m going to compete no matter who you are, and no matter who’s in front of me,” said Carter. Later, Clark addressed the encounter again, stating that she was going to focus on other things. “I’m trying not to let it bother me, and just stay in the game and stay in what’s important,” she said.
