Kate Martin Pulls Caitlin Clark Trading Card
The offseason activities are in full swing, as players enjoy their holidays and spend time with loved ones. The 23-year-old guard was filming a TikTok video as she opened up a bunch of trading cards.
From the pack, she first received Natasha Cloud’s trading card and then Sheryl Miller’s card. In the second bunch, she got Katie Douglas, and then the moment came as she pulled out the Fever rookie’s card. As soon as she found out it was Clark’s card, she shouted “let’s go” and took the Fever guard’s name in a hyped-up tone.
She captioned the memorable video with “dude might just make this a thing now.” Caitlin Clark also reacted to the video, saying, “I will sign it for you.”

Kate Martin’s selection in the WNBA was also a coincidence, as the player came to the draft to show support for her best friend, but the Las Vegas Aces selected her in the 2024 WNBA draft as the 18th overall pick.
The stars then faced each other on multiple occasions during the two years, with Martin representing Aces and Valkyries during that time. Clark played in 53 regular-season games, during which she faced her former teammate on five occasions. Interestingly, Martin ended up on the winning side in all five games.
During the 2025 offseason, Kate Martin will participate in the Unrivaled season 2, while Caitlin Clark will focus on recovering from her injury to return to complete fitness before the 2026 season.
