Iowa star Caitlin Clark will trade jerseys with Chiefs’ Rashee Rice on Christmas Day Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark is taking a break from her competitive domination with a Christmas Day football outing.
She shows off her Kansas City Chiefs fan base with a gesture that also involves another Midwest athlete.
Clark and rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice exchanged jerseys via Clutch Points before KC’s home game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
While this is a custom that fans have witnessed countless times, it’s a nice sign of respect between two young talents who both want to win a championship this season. However, their respective teams could currently be going different paths.
Clark remains the face of women’s basketball, averaging 30.5 points on 48.7 percent shooting, 7.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists for the season. The sensational statistics are reflected in the league and national rankings, with the 12-1 Haw keyes at No. 4 in the AP poll.
Big Ten play has yet to get into full swing, but the team should have a strong chance to finish what it started in the 2023 national championship against LSU. ADVISED Ryan Bologna · 53 minutes ago The Chiefs, however, have stalled in the second half of the season.
They are losing games that there is usually no doubt about and they have no more time to make up for it before the play-offs begin. An inconsistent offense appears to be the biggest obstacle to a second straight Super Bowl title.
However, Rashee Rice was a bright spot. He has 68 receptions for 754 yards and seven touchdowns and is KC’s only other truly viable pass catcher besides Travis Kelce.
Caitlin Clark will be watching closely during this extended break Monday afternoon before returning to Iowa basketball duties Saturday against Minnesota.
