Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark decided to take time out of her offseason activities to troll her former Iowa teammates Jada Gyamfi and Hannah Stuelke midway through the Hawkeyes’ season
Caitlin Clark’s former Iowa teammate Jada Gyamfi joked she is set to block the Indiana Fever star on social media after her playful comment.
Back in 2023, Clark enjoyed a record-breaking spell at Iowa, leading the Hawkeyes to back-to-back National Championship appearances while departing college as the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history. She took the sports world by storm recently, headlining a talented class of 2024 that attracted record audiences and attention to the WNBA.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Clark dominated on the court, finishing as the WNBA Rookie of the Year after posting 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and a league-leading 8.4 assists per game. After the Fever was eliminated in the first round of their first playoff campaign since 2016, Clark is now in her first professional offseason.
She is seemingly enjoying her time off, too. Clark is known to poke fun at her teammates and friends on social media, with the guard recently trolling Indiana Pacers All-Star Tyrese Haliburton for his toes.
On Friday, Clark decided to take aim at former Iowa teammates Hannah Stuelke and Gyamfi after the Hawkeyes pair posted a video of themselves dancing on TikTok. Rather than enjoyably joining in on the action, Clark took to the comments to post: “More film and sleeping. Less TikTok.”
Gymafi had posted the TikTok, and she immediately sent a warning to Clark. She responded: “I’m so close to blocking you on socials.”

The warning was likely in jest; Gyamfi and Stuelke joined Clark playing for Iowa in 2022, which was the WNBA star’s third year with the program. The trio played together for two years before Clark made the step up to the pros.
Clark clearly wants Iowa to continue their hot start to the season. Ranked No. 17, the Hawkeyes are currently 8-0 to start the 2024-25 campaign; Stuelke is averaging 14.5 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, while Gyamfi is putting up 2.0 points on shorter minutes.
Iowa is next in action on the road against 6-0 Tennessee on Saturday, Dec. 7. Meanwhile, Clark will enjoy the remainder of her offseason before preparing for her sophomore campaign in the WNBA, which tips off in May 2025.
