Ever since Raven Johnson got drafted by the Indiana Fever, fans have been buzzing about her potential dynamic with Caitlin Clark. After all, Johnson has made it clear that she was emotionally affected by Clark’s “wave-off” gesture when they squared off in March Madness three years ago.
Slowly but surely, the WNBA community is getting proof that Johnson and Clark can get along after all. For starters, there is Johnson’s shoutout to CC when she recognized the veterans who have been welcoming her to the Fever during a recent media availability. And then, there’s also a new clip of the two guards having friendly banter on the bench during a Fever preseason game.
In this viral clip, Caitlin Clark and Raven Johnson are having a conversation that also includes Sophie Cunningham. Clark, who is as known for her lighthearted side as her sharp focus when she’s on the hardcourt, appears to be telling a joke that both Johnson and Cunningham are reacting to.
This clip has drawn some enthusiastic responses from fans who are ready to dismiss the notion that Clark and Johnson won’t see eye to eye.
“100 narratives destroyed in one clip”
“Ravens maturity is a 10”
“The fans at each others throats a thousand times more than the players”
“Raven and cc do not hate each other”
“THE WORLD IS HEALING… FANS JUST NEED TO LET IT HAPPEN”
“Subconscious trauma days are over! Just saying.”
The Fever went on to win that preseason game against the New York Liberty. In their 109-91 victory, Clark and Johnson combined for 13 points on 5-for-13 shooting from the field.
Broadcaster Praises Caitlin Clark for Heartwarming Gesture to Young Fan
After the preseason game against the Liberty, Caitlin Clark decided to give her game shoes to a young fan in the audience. Seeing the clip of Clark’s gesture, NBC broadcaster Kylen Mills praised the Fever superstar on X.
“One thing about Caitlin Clark is she ALWAYS gives back to the fans. Whether she’s playing, or even last year when she was hurt she still went to away arenas & signed countless autographs. Saw CC do the same thing when she traveled the country playing in college.”
The young fan who got a piece of CC memorabilia now has a basketball memory that will last for the ages.
