Caitlin Clark Tells Teammates to ‘Focus on Basketball’ During Bikini Break
Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham took a needed break from the basketball court by lounging in the sun and soaking up some Vitamin D. Cunningham posted a video on TikTok with Hull sitting poolside in matching itty-bitty bikinis before their game that occurred in L.A. on Tuesday.
Accompanied by Taylor Swift's "Enchanted," Cunningham captioned the video with, " We are off to our game tonight. Convince us there's a swimsuit brand that wants to partner with two Indiana Fever mermaids."
The TikTok video has since gained over two million views on the social media platform, but that's not what everyone is talking about. Caitlin Clark quickly came to rain on their parade in the comment section despite being out for the past few weeks with a groin injury.
"Swimsuit brands plz comment 'focus on basketball'," the Indiana superstar wrote.
After Clark's comment, Cunningham ricocheted back in a now-deleted comment saying, "maybe a brand will make a full body wet suit for your pale ass too… We all win!"
A flurry of fan comments soon followed after Clark's, with one commeting, "I can hear CC yelling from the poolside 'less tan, ladies!'”
But the TikTok feud is all in good fun, as the three basketball stars are known for jabbing at each other for fun in public. Clark, Cunningham, and Hull have gotten close over the past year and nicknamed themselves "Tres Leches."
Cunningham's call for a swimsuit brand partnership didn't go unnoticed. Sports Illustrated Swimsuit commented, "We love a multifaceted woman," with the basketball star answering back, "this is what I'm talking about."
Another brand, Roxy, also commented on the video with, "Mermaiding is our specialty." While Clark may have stolen the show on Cunningham and Hall's TikTok video, it certainly caught the attention that Cunningham wanted. Could there be a swimsuit brand deal in their future?
