Caitlin Clark Sparks Locker Room Buzz with “Call Me Maybe” Moment — Message or Just a Joke?

In a video now making the rounds on social media, the Indiana Fever rookie was seen singing Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit “Call Me Maybe” in the locker room after practice. While that alone would’ve been an amusing and harmless moment, what caught the attention of fans — and perhaps the league itself — was what she did next: right as she hit the chorus, “Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy…”, Clark turned and pointed directly at Phoenix Mercury guard Sophie Cunningham.

The clip is just five seconds long, but it has sparked hours of debate. Was it a playful moment between teammates and rivals? A light-hearted jab after recent on-court tension? Or, as some fans are claiming, a thinly veiled message?

A Joke or a Jab?

Clark and Cunningham have shared several heated exchanges in recent games, and both are known for their competitive edge. Cunningham, with her physical style of play and unapologetic trash talk, has often been labeled a “villain” figure by some fanbases. Meanwhile, Clark—famous for her flair, confidence, and crowd-stirring performances—has shown she’s not afraid to send subtle messages of her own.

Some fans saw the “Call Me Maybe” moment as harmless fun. “Looks like locker room banter, nothing more,” one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote. Others read more into it. “She definitely knew the camera was on. That was a statement,” another fan posted.

Neither player has commented publicly, and the Fever declined to issue a statement. But insiders suggest there’s no actual feud—just the kind of tension that makes sports great.

Injury Update: Clark on the Mend

Amid the noise, fans are also asking: how’s Caitlin Clark’s recovery going?

After suffering a mild ankle sprain two weeks ago during a road game against the Liberty, Clark was sidelined for precautionary reasons. The Fever medical staff confirmed earlier this week that she has returned to “limited team activities” and is expected to be game-ready within the next 7–10 days.

“She’s progressing well,” head coach Christie Sides told reporters. “We’re being cautious, but she’s eager to get back.”

Clark appeared in high spirits during the locker room singalong, showing no visible signs of discomfort — a reassuring sight for fans worried about her availability in the Fever’s upcoming stretch of games.

A Viral Moment for All the Right (and Wrong) Reasons

Whether the locker room karaoke was a provocation or just a TikTok-worthy moment, it’s classic Caitlin Clark: bold, entertaining, and impossible to ignore.

For now, it’s anyone’s guess what message, if any, she meant to send. But one thing is certain — she’s still the most talked-about name in the WNBA.
