The WNBA fans seem to be quite fond of reunions. With the Indiana Fever spitting fire at the moment, the team is looking like a potential championship contender. And that is despite Caitlin Clark not playing due to her injury. Now, in order to make things even better for the Fever, fans are pushing for a long-lost friend of the 23-year-old star to rejoin her yet again.

There has been some significant chatter around the Golden State Valkyries’ Kate Martin. Picked up as the sixth player in the extension draft, Martin was expected to be a major contributor to Natalie Nakase’s rotation. But with significant concerns growing around the former Hawkeyes’ star, a potential move to the Fever is being heavily rumored.

Will Caitlin Clark And Kate Martin Re-unite At Indiana Fever?

Kate Martin has a longstanding friendship with Clark. During their days back at Iowa, the duo played together for four seasons at a stretch. And despite joining different WNBA teams, the two have remained good friends. At the moment, Martin is facing a roadblock with the Valkyries.

Martin did see her getting significant game time initially this season. Unfortunately, in recent times, her involvement in the rotation has significantly decreased. Rumors about her future at Golden State further took the pace after a DNP-CD situation against the Dallas Wings. San Francisco Chronicle’s Marisa Ingemi noted that the Valkyries treated Stephanie Talbot similarly before waiving her.

And if this is shaping up to be a similar scenario, fans are heavily hyping a Caitlin Clark reunion. Now, the Fever has some significant depth at the guard position. However, adding Martin will provide further stability, especially when the team’s star guard has missed more than 15 games due to injury. Fans online soon came in and delivered their takes on the matter.

Fans Want Kate Martin And Caitlin Clark At Indiana Fever

As soon as the news became viral, fans flocked to the comments section.

“I hope this happens. Kate can play 1-4 and chemistry with CC already on lock. I think FO makes this move. Let’s see,” commented a fan.

“I just think Steph hates Clark so much, as do the FO, there’s no way they’d sign Kate even if CC was healthy.  The drama in this league and the activism makes me ill.  Michael Jordan walked onto their team and all they can do is praise everyone else,” said another.

“I don’t think Steph hates her…but definitely doesn’t know how to take her…how to coach her…how to deal with a generational player like her,” commented another.

“I’m not sure but it appears that Kate has enjoyed making her place apart from Caitlin. I’d love to see them back together though,” said a WNBA enthusiast.

“Add an Iowa game, I would not want to see Kate traded to the Fever. I hope the Valks don’t take her at all. But if they do, I’d prefer to see her go to a team other than the Fever so she can grow independent of her connection to Caitlin,” chimed in a last one.

The buzz is surely going around. However, despite all the hype, there has been no confirmed news about the Valkyries trying to trade Kate Martin. Thus, with fans getting excited, they will wait to see what happens next.
