Golden State Valkyries guard Kate Martin’s latest commercial for Samsung has caught the attention of fans—and her former Iowa teammate, Caitlin Clark, couldn’t resist poking fun at her.

Martin recently joined Samsung’s Team Galaxy, endorsing the brand’s Galaxy smartphone in a new advertisement.

In the video on Instagram, Martin delivers a powerful message about the Unrivaled League.

“This is a new league for a new player,” Martin said.

“We don’t just wear the jersey, we own them. We create new legacies, set new trends, push new boundaries. I am Team Galaxy,” she continued.

However, the Indiana Fever guard playfully called out her friend in the comments.

“Send me the new number then,” she wrote.

Clark’s witty remark quickly gained attention, with fans enjoying the lighthearted exchange between the former teammates.

Their former Iowa assistant coach, Raina Harmon, also joined in on the fun, joking about Martin possibly having two phones. Martin clarified that she only has one, keeping the banter going between her close-knit Iowa connections.

Her girlfriend, Claire Gransee, was also among those reacting to Martin’s Samsung ad. Gransee commented on Instagram, saying, “#1 fan of the watch,” showing her support for Martin’s growing success.

Despite now playing for different teams in the WNBA, Clark and Martin’s bond remains strong. They spent four years together at Iowa, with Martin joining the program in 2019 and Clark following a year later. 

Martin’s move to the Golden State Valkyries came after a season with the Las Vegas Aces. 

In addition to her growing basketball career, Martin is expanding her presence in the business world. Being drafted by the Aces in 2024 was an unexpected turn, as she originally attended the event to support Clark, per ESPN. 

Now, as a key player for the Valkyries, she is securing endorsements from billion-dollar brands like Samsung.

Martin’s impact both on and off the court continues to grow, and her friendship with Clark remains a source of entertainment for fans.
