George Kittle sends 2-word message to Caitlin Clark after Fever sensation's historic game in 2025 WNBA season debut
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle shared some words of appreciation for Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark after her excellent start to the 2025 WNBA season. Clark recorded a triple-double (20 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds) to help Indiana beat the Chicago Sky 93-58 in its opening game of the season on Saturday.
After the Fever's win, Kittle reposted Clark's stats on his Instagram story and had a two-word message for the WNBA star.
"Decent start!!!" Kittle wrote, followed with a saluting face emoji and a fire emoji, while also tagging Clark in the post.
Notably, Clark made WNBA history during Indiana's win over Chicago. She became the fastest player in the league to reach three career triple-doubles, achieving the feat in 41 games.
Clark is also level with Candace Parker for the third-most triple-doubles of all time in WNBA history. She is now only behind Alyssa Thomas (15) and Sabrina Ionescu (4) in career triple-doubles.
The Fever took Clark with the top pick in the 2024 WNBA draft. She hit the ground running, winning the Rookie of the Year award. Now, Clark has gotten off to a superb start in the 2025 season and will want to help Indiana build on its win over Chicago in the coming weeks and months.
