Caitlin Clark is making the most of this New York minute.
The star Indiana Fever guard was seated behind the Butler bench on Thursday when boyfriend Connor McCaffery’s Bulldogs fell to St. John’s in the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden, as captured in footage by The Post.
Clark, the WNBA’s reigning Rookie of the Year, sported a Butler baseball cap while taking in the action from the court.
St. John’s won 78-57 to reach Friday’s semifinals. The final is set for Saturday.
At one point during the game, Clark was seen standing and yelling in frustration.
McCaffery, the son of longtime Iowa men’s basketball coach Fran McCaffery, joined the Butler staff in Sept. 2024 as an assistant coach.
The former Hawkeye previously worked as a basketball development coordinator for the Indiana Pacers.
Clark, 23, and McCaffrey have been dating for nearly two years. They celebrated their first anniversary last April.
“One year of the best mems w my fav person,” Clark gushed in an Instagram tribute. “You make everyday better and I can’t wait for many more adventures together… love you.”
Clark is readying for her second WNBA season following a stellar rookie year.
The No. 1 overall pick out of Iowa in last year’s draft, Clark averaged 19.2 points per game last season, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists. She was named to the All-WNBA First Team and received an All-Star nod.
Clark reflected on her wild rookie season in October after the Fever fell to the Connecticut Sun in the first round of the playoffs.
“Year one ✅ — Thank you to the many people who have supported me as I’ve been able to live my childhood dream. I’m filled with gratitude as I reflect on this past year of my life,” the NCAA’s all-time Division I scorer posted on Instagram.
“See you all in year two.”
The Fever host the Chicago Sky in their season opener on May 17.
