Caitlin Clark may not be fully focused on basketball in her first offseason as a professional, but she playfully encouraged her former Iowa teammate, forward Jada Gyamfi, to prioritize basketball after Gyamfi shared photos from her trip to Riviera Maya, Mexico, on Instagram.

Gyamfi made two separate posts showing off her vacation. In the first one, Clark and another former Iowa teammate, Kate Martin, left lighthearted comments.

“Work it jades,” Clark wrote.

“Slay!” Martin said.

However, when Gyamfi posted more photos a few hours later, Clark humorously responded, urging her to stop spending time on Instagram and get back to focusing on basketball.

“Less grams. More basketball thanks. Love ya,” Clark said.

Connor McCaffery, Clark’s boyfriend and fellow Iowa alum, also joined in on the joke, saying:

“Love the double post you are killing it.”

Martin still supportive, commented:

“Jawline snatched.”

Gyamfi, now in her third year at Iowa, is averaging 2.5 points in 5.3 minutes per game.

In the post-Caitlin Clark era, Iowa has started strong, with a perfect 6-0 record in the Big Ten.

Caitlin Clark receives rings in Iowa homecoming

Clark returned to her alma mater, the University of Iowa, for the school’s homecoming celebrations last month. The WNBA Rookie of the Year marked the occasion with former teammates Gabbie Marshall and Kate Martin.

A highlight of the weekend was a ring ceremony honoring the Iowa women’s basketball team’s accomplishments over the past two seasons.

Clark and her teammates were presented with championship rings for their Big Ten title and their incredible Final Four run.

The Iowa Women’s Basketball team shared the joyful moment on social media, posting a picture of Clark and Martin displaying their rings.

Caitlin Clark talks about inspiring young athletes

Clark has played a pivotal role in increasing the visibility of the WNBA and women’s basketball. In her rookie season with the Indiana Fever, she set multiple scoring and shooting records and was named Rookie of the Year.

In her first offseason as a professional, Clark has primarily concentrated on golf and other activities, like speaking at leadership events. At the LPGA Women’s Leadership Summit, Clark shared how her platform has influenced young athletes.

“I would say, the young girls that are at our games screaming and having the time of their lives, and you go up to them and they start crying. It’s cute, but also I was just in their shoes,” she said.

“You know, however many years ago, I was begging my dad or my mom to take me to whatever sporting event it was. And I was screaming that I wanted to meet the players… because it was so impactful. I wanted to be who they were.”

Clark has not yet participated in any basketball-related activities during her first offseason, recently turning down the Unrivaled league.
