Caitlin Clark has shown multiple different faces in the last few months. The tough competitor on the floor, the fashionista on the WNBA draft red carpet, and the comedian in the SNL cameo. But who knew we would also get to see her caring for a baby? And now that we have, who would disagree that it was a perfectly adorable moment? Before last night’s game, Indiana’s rookie spent a few minutes with Katie Lou Samuelson’s daughter Aliya. As a result, she got fans’ hearts melting.

The WNBA and Sports on Prime took to their official Instagram accounts as they posted the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer taking a break with the baby girl. Taking a witty turn on their caption, they wrote, “Baby (Indiana)Fever! Caitlin Clark spending time with Katie Lou Samuelson’s baby 🥹.” The caption was a clever play as the baby fever took over Indiana with Lou bringing her baby in for the media day, the practices, and now at the home opener.

In the video, Clark picks up the baby and she quickly finds her way into the hooper’s mouth. To this, the No. 22 asks her ‘elder sister’ Erica Wheeler, “E-dub, heeelp!” and Erica Wheeler simply goes, “Hoooow?” Later, the rookie tries to converse with the baby, saying, “You’re so fun. You’re crazy.” From behind, Wheeler says, “Now we gotta copyright Aliya.” The interaction took over the internet and blew everyone’s minds as the fans could not help but comment on the overloaded cuteness.

“Baby therapy”: Fans get giddy as Caitlin Clark spreads some baby fever

Although the night turned out to be a rather disappointing one for the Indiana fans, they surely got one thing to smile about. That was this video of the 2x NPOY. One fan did not hesitate to call her the aunt as she played and talked to the little girl. According to the Instagram user, the baby was bored and Clark came out of the warmup to be with her. “Auntie Caitlin to the rescue”

The wholesomeness even attracted Phoenix Mercury star, Sophie Cunningham. She dropped some love in the already brimming comment section too. Adding a heart-eye emoji, she displayed her feelings as she saw the NCAA’s scoring queen with a tiny baby. Can we see the two shaking hands in the future as Indiana finally goes against Phoenix in July? “Awww this is so cute.”

One of the basketball fans agreed with the thought that babies truly can help relieve some stress and anxiety. Pretty sure, Clark would be having some cold fingers until she started playing as she went against one of her idols, Sabrina Ionescu and the New York Liberty. Maybe she should play with Aliya after the game too due to the tragic loss. “Nothing like baby therapy!”

A Caitlin Clark fan went as far as saying that they fall for the young hooper every day. Seemingly, it is because every time they think that they have reached the ceiling of adoring the 6-foot hooper, she does something that proves them wrong. This time it is not on the floor when she is breaking sweat on her opponents’ necks, it is outside of it where she is bringing tears of joy to the fans’ eyes.

“When I think I can’t like her more than I do. Moments like this make like even more.” Many fans also laughed off at the fact that Clark, who made her competitors tremble in college, is afraid of a little baby putting her hands in her mouth. They couldn’t help but rejoice the moment and repeat Clark’s plea for help. “E dub.. help”

It is truly astonishing how many ways the talented basketball player can impact the crowd. However, despite all the fun and games off the court, the fans are pooling up to see her get back into her true self and show Caitlin Clark-level hooping soon. But until then, we know that Lou definitely has someone to rely on to take care of her baby.
