Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark found a special way to show her appreciation for her teammates after their victory over the Dallas Wings. Fever guard Tyasha Harris shared a video on Instagram showing several boxes of Nike shoes Clark gifted her teammates.
“Christmas came early 🥰,” Harris captioned the video.
The gifts included pairs of Nike shoes, including Clark's own CC1 signature shoes. Five pairs could be seen around Harris' chair, suggesting that each teammate received a similar set of shoes, along with other accessories.

"Caitlin Clark gifted her teammates her Kobe PEs and her upcoming signature shoe, the Nike Caitlin 1," Sole Retriever posted on X on August 15.
The timing of the gesture is even more special. Clark had recently received her first signature shoe from Nike, with Caitlin 1 expected to officially launch in October. She has already teased more than 10 different colorways ahead of the release.
The Fever remain in the race for the top of the standings, sitting just three games behind the Valkyries with a realistic chance to finish as high as second.
Clark and Kelsey Mitchell have continued to lead Indiana's scoring efforts as the Fever push toward the playoffs, according to Bleacher Report.
The team is scheduled to return to action Sunday against the Atlanta Dream, with Clark's teammates now having another reason to remember the latest win.
While the gift showed Clark's appreciation for her teammates, her numbers tell another part of the story as Indiana heads into the final stretch.
Can Caitlin Clark make a late MVP push?
Caitlin Clark may not be the favorite for the WNBA MVP award right now, but she is putting together a season that deserves plenty of attention.
Through the season, Clark is averaging 21.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 8.3 assists. Her scoring and playmaking combined are on pace to make this the most productive offensive season in WNBA history.
The MVP race currently has A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces as the favorite, while Clark's own teammate Kelsey Mitchell is also expected to have more MVP buzz at this stage, according to Hitc.
However, the Fever still have 10 regular-season games remaining, giving Clark a chance to make one more push. For now, she is chasing the leaders. But Clark's numbers have already made this one of the more interesting MVP races to watch.
