Caitlin Clark, a standout player for the Indiana Fever, has a hidden talent that her teammate, Aliyah Boston, recently brought to light during a fan Q&A session with Candace Parker. While the basketball world is familiar with Clark’s prowess on the court, it seems that she also has a knack for baking cookies, although her teammates have yet to experience her culinary skills firsthand.
During the session, Boston shared that the rumor circulating in the Fever locker room is that Clark enjoys baking. When pressed for evidence by Parker, Boston could only admit, “No, that’s just the word on the street.” Despite the absence of any cookies to show for it, Boston enthusiastically encouraged fans to ask Clark why she hasn’t baked for the team, highlighting her playful personality. “She loves baking cookies and she’s hilarious,” Boston added.
While the anticipation for Clark’s baking remains, the Fever’s current season is marked by challenges. Clark has been sidelined due to a groin injury, which has contributed to the team’s struggles on the court. The Fever recently faced two consecutive defeats against the New York Liberty, including a significant loss of 98-84 on July 23, 2025.
Team Dynamics Without Clark
Following a tough match on July 26, where the Fever lost 98-87 to the Liberty, Boston reflected on the team’s mindset in the absence of Clark. She emphasized that the focus should be on how the remaining players perform, rather than fixating on who is missing. “Our mindset, our approach every single day is… for us that are on the floor,” Boston stated. “We just have to make sure we are pouring into each other, we are working hard and doing what we can.”
Boston underscored that the Fever have had the experience of playing both with and without Clark. Her approach centers on maximizing every possession and ensuring that the team remains cohesive. “It’s just making sure that we do every single thing each possession, and not take a possession off,” she explained.
Looking Ahead: New Initiatives
Despite the Fever’s recent difficulties, Boston noted that the team is finding its rhythm. She pointed out that they are not solely reliant on Clark, but rather focusing on involving all players and trusting their system for success. This strategy will be crucial as the team continues to navigate the challenges of the season.
In an exciting development, Boston is set to join Parker for a new podcast titled “Past Moves,” which will debut on July 30, 2025. The teaser clips promise insights into the players’ camaraderie, including the lighthearted discussion about Clark’s rumored baking abilities. While fans are left waiting for baked goods from Clark, they can look forward to the engaging conversations that Boston and Parker will share on their upcoming podcast.
The Fever are determined to push through this challenging period, and with the resilience shown by players like Boston, they aim to bounce back and make a strong impact in the league.
