Caitlin Clark Hugs Donna Kelce Before Fever-Lynx Game

Caitlin Clark greeted Donna Kelce courtside with a brief hug before the Indiana Fever played the Minnesota Lynx on September 22, an interaction shared in video posted by the Fever. Donna Kelce, the mother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was wearing apparel bearing Clark’s No. 22. Travis Kelce later commented on the video on Instagram: “CC’s the realest!!” The clip captured Clark approaching Kelce before tipoff at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Fever’s post showed the two embracing, and accounts of the moment also described them exchanging a few words. Donna Kelce watched from courtside as Indiana faced Minnesota. The Fever won 96-77, according to one account, which said the Lynx had already secured the No. 1 seed and Indiana held the No. 5 seed with a 28-15 record. Clark’s individual statistics were reported inconsistently: accounts gave her either 30 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, or 27 points and nine assists. The available reports do not resolve the discrepancy, so her point total cannot be stated confidently. The game’s place in Indiana’s schedule is also described differently.
