Fresh off making the 2026 All-WNBA team, Clark is now an author. She launched her children’s picture book, EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams, on November 3. The launch coincided with the Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce episode featuring Clark going live on YouTube. Kelce started the episode praising Clark’s book, but asked some exciting questions, including the Indiana Fever guard’s take on the Golden State Valkyries, her loyalty to the Kansas City Chiefs, and the big question: Is CC open to joining Philadelphia’s 2030 WNBA team?

Kylie Kelce wants Caitlin Clark to come to Philly

The Philly discussion started with Jason Kelce’s wife asking whether Clark had any suggestions about what the WNBA’s Philadelphia expansion team should be called.

“I’m advocating for Philadelphia Broads,” said Kelce while explaining why she chose that name.

“Broad Street is our main drag right through the middle of the city. It’s like our parade route for any championships, all that stuff.”

While Clark didn’t exactly have a name in mind, Kelce reluctantly asked whether the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year thinks about the prospect of actually playing for the upcoming expansion franchise.

“I know you can’t say an enthusiastic yes, but wouldn’t it be fun to come to Philadelphia?” asked Kelce, before Clark completed the question.

“Like, be on the team?” the 24-year-old said.

“Yes! Yes!” said Kylie Kelce, while Clark chuckled.

Once again, the three-time WNBA All-Star didn’t answer. However, she revealed that she had never spent any meaningful time in Philadelphia.

Although Kelce didn’t push Clark for the answer, it’s not surprising why she would want Clark to play in Philly. Born and raised in Narberth, Pennsylvania, a suburb just outside of Philadelphia, she has a deep connection with the local community. She is also an ambassador, key volunteer, and organizer for the Eagles Autism Foundation.

Having one of the biggest WNBA stars playing for her hometown team would be a dream come true for Kelce.

Unfortunately for Kelce, Clark remains committed to the Indiana Fever for now. Clark is currently on a four-year, $338,056 rookie contract with the Fever. She’s already eligible for a supermax contract extension under the WNBA’s EPIC (Exceptional Performance on Initial Contract) provision. As things stand, she’ll likely sign that extension with the Fever when the time comes.

That being said, the WNBA’s Philadelphia team is currently the last of the three remaining expansion teams set to join the league. As the WNBA continues to break viewership records, it’s also scaling rapidly, and after the Golden State Valkyries (2025), Portland Fire (2026), and Toronto Tempo (2026), the next expansion team, Cleveland (Cleveland Sirens), will join the league in 2028.

Detroit will follow Cleveland in 2029 before Philly. So it’s uncertain how the WNBA landscape is bound to shift in these next four years. But one thing Clark was certain about was which team impressed her the most in the WNBA Finals.

Clark praised the Golden State Valkyries

On Saturday, October 31, 2026, the Golden State Valkyries created WNBA history. They became the first expansion team to win the WNBA championship in just their second season.

Kelce explained that by the time the episode goes live, the WNBA Finals will be over; Clark expressed that the Valkyries had already won her over with their trajectory.

“I don’t think people realize how ridiculous that is for Natalie, their coach, to get everybody to buy in, to get everybody to believe,” Clark said. “They have really, really, really talented players, but at the same time, like on any given night, any of them can have 20 points and be the star. And it seems like nobody’s bothered by that. Like, that’s just how they are.”

“They’re a close-knit team. So, I think that’s like the coolest storyline of these Finals is just what Golden State’s been able to do in such a short period of time. Like two years and to be playing in the Finals, that’s a win in itself.”

Clark also acknowledged how the Valkyries’ owner Joe Lacob had a vision to win a title in five years even before the Bay Area team officially existed.

Coach Nakase revealed exactly what Lacob had told her when he recruited her in 2024.

“Joe set the standard. Whoever takes this job has to win in five years. So I was like, ‘Yes, that’s going to happen, but even faster.’ I’m impatient. I’m obsessive, but it’s because he pushes me,” Nakase said as per The Athletic.

The fact that the Valkyries were actually within touching distance of that dream when they recorded the podcast impressed the 2026 Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year award winner.

The Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream had a historic WNBA Finals, giving the league its first Finals Game 7 in its landmark 30th season. Throughout the series and in that game, the Valkyries also proved Clark right that any one of them could be the star on a given night.

Gabby Williams’ four free throws in the dying minutes gave them the 68-64 win in Game 1. Kia Stokes stepped up in Games 4 and 5, disrupting Dream star Angel Reese. Then in the finals, Williams shined once again.

She scored 28 points in the second half, setting a WNBA Finals record, and won Finals MVP.

However, basketball wasn’t the only thing the pair discussed. The Fever star also discussed her love for the Chiefs more than once.

Caitlin Clark is a die-hard Chiefs fan

CC fangirling over the Chiefs is nothing new. Last month, on October 18, 2026, she was spotted with Taylor Swift in the VIP booth at Arrowhead Stadium as the Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 22-6.

So during their discussion, Kelce revealed she felt it was endearing that Clark “refused” to put on the Colts jersey.

“The moment you wouldn’t put on a Colts jersey, I was like, ‘My girl.'”

The Indianapolis Colts gave each Fever player a numbered jersey when they visited Lucas Oil Stadium ahead of the Colts’ game against the Las Vegas Raiders. A clip showing other Fever players wearing the jersey while Clark just held it up to the camera went viral, stirring a conversation about why she didn’t put on the jersey.

“Honestly, like in real time, I wasn’t like thinking like, ‘Oh! I’m not going to put this on cuz I don’t want the Chiefs fans mad or Travis mad or whatever,'” said Clark. “I didn’t realize all my teammates had it on. So, that made me look worse. But, whatever. I still have the jersey. It’s cool. They put my name on it.”

CC also admitted that she admired how Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt, and Kalen Jackson were running the team. However, Clark explained that no matter her admiration, her loyalties lie with the Reds.

“I wish them the best, the Colts, but I am a die-hard Chiefs fan. I’ve been die-hard since I was a young kid, and it is what it is. Okay?”

Clark also clarified that her favorite NFL player also wears the Chiefs colors and is none other than Taylor Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce.

“Is Travis your favorite Chiefs player of all time? Come on. Of course he is. I was a Tony Gonzalez fan when I was growing up. But no, Travis is definitely my favorite Chiefs player of all time, and Patrick is right behind him.”

On a more personal note, Kelce was curious about Clark’s trash-talking ability as well.

Clark on her trash-talking skills or lack thereof

“Now you’re underrated in your trash talk. Is this correct?” asked Kelce.

Caitlin Clark explained that she actually didn’t feel that way and rarely engaged in trash-talking.

“See, people always think that I’m like a trash talker. I don’t even think I really am. I don’t really talk trash. I don’t really say anything to people,” clarified Clark. “I feel I only get really hype… When, say, I make like three threes in a row, I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, like you can’t guard that!’ or like something like that. But like in a fun way.”

The Fever guard then gave an example of how she approached such situations.

“There was a clip that went viral last year when we played the Liberty, and I made a three over Stewie and me, and Stewie and I both started laughing cuz it was funny. Those are the fun moments, but I don’t really trash talk like that, honestly.”

Clark did, however, admit that the majority of her heated conversations actually happened with officials.

“Honestly the people I talk to the most are the refs, which I need to do better at. So maybe I should chill on that a little bit,” Clark said with a laugh.

The 24-year-old has developed a reputation for clashing with officials. That tendency is directly reflected in the WNBA guard picking up seven technical fouls throughout the season.

Clark picked up a technical foul for arguing with an official as early as May 13, 2026. Jason Alabanza called for a technical foul on Clark after a disagreement following an offensive foul in a game against the Los Angeles Sparks.

While Clark denied being a trash talker, she revealed that she used it as motivation if someone trash-talked her.

“Like, I want you to say something to me, and I try to honestly do my best to just act like I can’t hear. I love that.”

Meanwhile, CC didn’t hesitate to give the player she thought was the toughest player to guard in the WNBA.

Clark on the toughest player to defend against

When Kelce asked who Clark thought was the most unstoppable force on the hardwood, Clark didn’t hesitate to name A’ja Wilson.

“In the W, it’s definitely A’ja. I think that would probably be everybody’s answer,” said Clark. “Just her size, her physicality, her athleticism. She can make a mid-range jump shot super consistently. She can stretch the floor when she wants to, and she can finish around the rim really well.”

Although the Golden State Valkyries knocked out the Las Vegas Aces in the semifinals, Wilson won her third consecutive, and fifth overall, WNBA MVP title. Wilson led the league with 26.2 points per game and 1.9 blocks, while becoming the first player to score over 1,000 points in multiple seasons (2024 and 2026).

Second on Clark’s list was her Fever teammate.

“My teammate Kelsey Mitchell is one of the hardest players in the league to guard just because of her speed and the way she finishes around the rim and shoots the ball.”

With the WNBA offseason now in full swing, Clark is enjoying some time off while racking up a few personal achievements. So, her appearance on Kylie Kelce’s podcast gave fans a glimpse into her thought process regarding the WNBA right now.
