Iowa’s Sunday loss to Ohio State ended on an even more bitter note with Caitlin Clark’s collision with a Buckeyes fan. It was a bittersweet game for the star Hawkeyes player, given that she put in the best performance of her career, netting 45 points and recording seven assists and three rebounds. The game ended in heartbreak for the Iowa, losing 100-92 in overtime.
Caitlin Clark’s collision incident made the rounds around the internet and raised questions regarding the safety of players during victory celebrations. The video shows that the incident was accidental, as Clark seems to run into the fan’s blind spot.
Some better news came out on the game’s aftermath, as Clark confirmed during the press conference that she was OK and was even seen sharing a special moment with Ohio State fan Landon McChesney.
McChesney suffers from a rare genetic condition that wasn’t even discovered before 2016. The Buckeyes have thrown their full support behind his fundraising efforts, and Landon is a recurring sight at their games.
On Monday, a picture of Caitlin Clark with Landon McChesney made the rounds through X (formerly Twitter). The image shows Clark alongside McChesney in his wheelchair, smiling infront of one of the team buses. The post also added that McChesney gifted Clark a bracelet.
