Basketball superstar Caitlin Clark isn’t messing around for her second year in the WNBA.
Photos of Clark at this weekend’s Big Ten women’s basketball tournament showed a version of the hooper that clearly had been hitting the weights in the gym during the off-season, the New York Post reports.
“Well someone’s been in the weight room,” one person wrote in a post on X, which included a photo of Clark cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes, who lost a 60-59 heartbreaker to Ohio State in the quarterfinals on Friday.
The bulked-up Clark has excited fans online.
“Year 2 is going to be FUN!” one person wrote.
“They won’t be pushing her around next year,” a second person commented.
“She’ll be badass this year,” another chimed in.
While Clark was one of the W’s biggest stars last season, it didn’t stop her opponents from roughing her up a bit while she was on the court and even led to Clark telling reporters that she had been going “pretty hard in the weight room” during the Olympic break last season.
“I’m small but I try to hold my own the best I can,” she told reporters last August. “ … I don’t know, I think I’m discreetly strong. I’m never gonna be the strongest person. I know that. I try to put on some weight and I’ve been working hard in the weight room. Obviously there’s some limits to that and what I can do, obviously being in the season, but over the course of the last three weeks or so we’ve all been going pretty hard in the weight room.”
It now seems like Clark continued to hit the weights.
The Fever is a little more than two months away from their season opener against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.
Clark is coming off a season where she lit up the WNBA while averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds.
The Fever added Natasha Howard, Brianna Turner, DeWanna Bonner and Sophie Cunningham this off-season along with hired new head coach Stephanie White. It could make Indiana a legitimate title contender this season
