Caitlin Clark didn’t have to do anything flashy this time to get the internet talking. All it took was a locker room photo- a sandwich in hand, a relaxed pose, and two names on the lockers beside her- to spark a wave of speculation and fan chatter.

The recently surfaced image, snapped inside the Indiana Fever locker room, shows that to her left, the nameplate reads Cunningham (#8). To her right, it’s Hull (#10). And right in the middle sits Caitlin Clark, flanked by teammates, sandwich in hand, in a photo that’s quietly buzzing the internet. Her locker, marked with the familiar #22, has become an unlikely focal point- not because of what’s in it, but because of who’s beside it.

Fans Weigh In On Locker Chemistry

The seating arrangement led fans online to launch into a flurry of comments, theories, and lighthearted speculation.

“One’s her best friend, the other is her bodyguard,” one fan wrote, reacting to Hull on her right and Cunningham’s name to her left.

Another chimed in, “She’d love to date either one of them.”

Some went even further, joking, “They’re her Secret Service detail.”

Fans didn’t just focus on the people. “Time to upgrade these locker rooms,” one user posted, pointing out the modest setup for a team now constantly in the spotlight thanks to Clark’s presence.

Locker room placement isn’t always random. It often reflects team dynamics, budding friendships, or how the coaching staff wants players to build chemistry. Hull, known for her defensive toughness, is already part of the on-court core supporting Clark. Their growing connection shows not just in game minutes but in these small behind-the-scenes moments.

Lexie Hull herself offered a glimpse of that bond when speaking with Fever media member Olivia West on May 8. When asked who on the team could pull off wearing something wild, she pointed to Clark. “She showed up with something on her arm the other day, and it turned out okay,” Hull laughed. It was just a shooting sleeve, but that was enough to count in Hull’s eyes.

Clark still hasn’t worn that sleeve in a game. But fans recently noticed a new accessory: a leg sleeve, visible in photos taken during the team’s recent road trip. The images came from photographer Bri Lewerke, who gave Clark a camera to document her own journey. From the bench to behind the lens, and now from her locker room seat, Clark holds attention in every space she enters.
