Caitlin Clark gives cheeky response after being excluded from photo by former team-mates

has provided an amusing response to a group photo including some of her former team-mates. Ex-Iowa Hawkeyes star Gabbie Marshall shared a snap of her alongside Kate Martin and Jada Gyamfi on Monday.

Marshall, who is now retired, met up with Martin and Gyamfi when the Hawkeyes beat Virginia Tech Hokies 71-52. Martin now plays for Las Vegas Aces while Gyamfi remains with the Hawkeyes.

The picture of the three players was shared on Instagram by Marshall. Her caption read: "#23's BIGGEST fan!! So good seeing my Hawkeye family this weekend."

And there was a famous name in the comments as Clark chimed in. The WNBA star joked that her former colleagues should have edited her into the picture.

"Crop me in next time gang," she wrote.

Clark has clearly not forgotten her former team-mates and still shares a strong bond with those she played alongside in her pre-WNBA career. During her time with the Hawkeyes, she helped them secure consecutive Final Four appearances in 2023 and 2024. Clark averaged 28.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game.

But since then, Clark enjoyed an incredible first year in WNBA, playing for Indiana Fever. She won the Rookie of the Year prize and was named in the league All-Star as a result of her performances.

The 22-year-old Clark averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game. She also led the WNBA for average assists.

More recently, Clark has earned herself a reputation as a top trash-talker, often getting under the skin of her opponents during matches. UConn head coach Geno Auriemma has opened up on what Clark says on the court, which has caused a couple of confrontations over the past year.

"When people talk about in the WNBA, 'Why are these people beating up Caitlin Clark?,' it's because she talks a lot of s*** on the court," Auriemma explained on the Make A Difference podcast.

"That's what makes her good. So she's not like this angel walking out there and everybody else is beating her up.

"No, she's got a lot to say. She's a lot like Paige [Bueckers], those guys have a lot to say, they just do it subtly, and they're tough. We need more of that, and we need more great games, better games, and some rules modifications."
