Despite his season being cut short due to an injury after just two games, Finneseth has boldly stepped off the field
While the odds of Clark calling him back seem slim, considering her relationship with McCaffery, who is now an assistant coach with the NBAโs Indiana Pacers, Finnesethโs playful confidence has certainly drawn some attention.
Clark and McCaffery were first seen publicly as a couple in April 2023, at a Nuggets-Timberwolves game.
