Caitlin Clark had a day away from the court to celebrate with Connor McCaffery.
McCaffery, Clark's boyfriend of over three years, turned 28 years old on Monday. Clark commemorated the moment with an Instagram post featuring three photos of them posing together and another black-and-white picture of McCaffery watching the Indiana Fever star play courtside.
"Happyyyyy Birthdayyyy Con," Clark wrote with two heart emojis. "I love celebrating you always and can't wait to see what this year brings you."
Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton was among those to wish McCaffery a happy birthday in the comments. McCaffery also replied to Clark's post.
"Love you thank u," he wrote.

Like Clark, McCaffery was a guard in Iowa's basketball program. Playing under his father, head coach Fran McCaffery, he averaged 4.5 points per game in six seasons from 2017 to 2023.
While Clark stayed in Iowa to become the NCAA's all-time leading scorer, Connor McCaffery joined the Pacers as an assistant coach. He then spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Butler before recently landing a new position.
The Noblesville Boom, a G League affiliate of the Pacers, hired McCaffery as a player development assistant in early June. Boom general manager Chris Taylor praised his staff's addition to Dustin Dopirak of the Indianapolis Star.
"You can't overlook the impressive basketball bloodline he comes from," Taylor said. "I think from getting to know him I've been so impressed with his legitimate commitment to being a coach and a high-level coach. He has lofty aspirations and he's still young. A lot of times coaches his age, you're like, 'Hey what's your goal here?' And they might be just like, 'I just want to coach.' But he has very strict and kind of guided goals, which is great. His willingness to do anything. He had the player development role, the opportunity over at Butler, now coming back in a G League role, he's just open to any way he can learn and grow."
McCaffery and Clark recently celebrated their third anniversary on April 24. The WNBA star won't have to travel far from him this week, as the Fever host three home games on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.
