“I love every single picture” — Iowa’s Jada Gyamfi gets excited over Aces rookie Kate Martin’s vacation dump with family and friends
The Iowa Hawkeyes' Jada Gyamfi was impressed by Las Vegas Aces rookie Kate Martin’s recent vacation photo dump on Instagram.
Martin treated herself to an outing with her family and loved ones during the WNBA's midseason break. She posted photos with young family members, her mother, brother, friends from the court and her girlfriend Claire Gransee, prompting a comment from her former Hawkeyes acquaintance Gyamfi.
"Break treated me good, love my people 🙇♀️🧘♀️," Martin captioned the post.
"I love every single picture so much," Gyamfi quipped on the post before adding, "Ev & Gwen🥹🥹," in a separate comment.
Caitlin Clark, AJ Ediger, McKenna Warnock, Sydney Affolter, Monika Czinano and her Aces teammate Megan Gustafson also chimed in on Martin's vacation dump.

The surprise 18th pick in the 2024 draft has won fans' hearts with her work ethic and skill set. It was one of the reasons that Martin earned a flurry of fan votes for the WNBA All-Star Game.
However, Martin suffered an ankle injury on July 16 against the Chicago Sky, instilling fears she might have torn her Achilles. Upon assessment, it was diagnosed as a severe bruise to the tendon.
While Martin enjoys some time off, four of her teammates, A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young, are competing for gold with Team USA in Paris. They have entered the knockout round with a clean record and are three wins away from securing the women's team's eighth straight gold medal in the Olympics.
