Fever star Caitlin Clark shared a heartwarming moment with the late Kobe Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, and her family during WNBA All-Star festivities.
The encounter took place on Saturday around the All-Star Game featuring Team USA and Team WNBA, which was filled with a collection of All-Stars who didn’t make the national team roster.
Clark ventured toward the courtside seating area to meet Vanessa, as well as her daughters Natalia, Bianka and Capri.
Of note, Clark and Capri, Bryant’s youngest daughter, happened to be wearing matching Nike Kobe 6 PEs, which the Rooke of the Year candidate seemingly highlighted upon meeting.
