Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark clearly needs better teammates, so she is officially teaming up with THE Cookie Monster.
In her latest off-court venture, the WNBA superstar debuted a new Xfinity commercial, joining forces with Sesame Street’s most chaotic blue icon on a mission to bake the “Greatest Cookie of All Time.”

Honestly, a frantic puppet addicted to baked goods would still provide more spacing on the floor than what Clark dealt with all season. Hard to blame the girl for looking outside the locker room.
WATCH:
It is easily the best sports crossover with a fuzzy mascot since Grimace saved the Mets’ season. The commercial leans straight into the “two GOATs” dynamic: Clark, who shattered every TV rating in WNBA history, and Cookie Monster, hunting down pastry perfection.
While Angel Reese is grinding for a title in the WNBA Finals, Clark is clocking offseason commercial shifts. Between her $28 million Nike bag, a Wilson basketball line and spots for Gatorade and State Farm, corporate suits cannot get enough of her. Now she added Xfinity to the pile, playing baker next to a literal felt puppet. Electric.

Clark just wrapped up a frustrating postseason run that ended with the Fever getting eliminated by A’ja Wilson and the powerhouse Las Vegas Aces.
Advertisers know something the WNBA has yet to crack: anything Clark touches brings eyeballs. Now she’s getting paid a fortune to hang out with a childhood icon. Not bad work if you can get it.
