Caitlin Clark Bulks Up: WNBA Defenders and Bullies, Be Warned!

Go to Article

After 17% of all fouls were committed against Caitlin Clark last season…

After getting roughed up in her rookie year…

She apparently hit the gym hard offseason!

She’s packed on some serious muscle.

This is leaving fans and analysts buzzing over her transformation.

Perhaps the hordes of bullies that get away with fouling her will think twice this season.

Coach Stephanie White says she’s stronger than ever, and defenders are about to find out the hard way.

Daily Mail reports:

Caitlin Clark’s body took a beating during her rookie season in the WNBA, but the Indiana Fever star has seemingly added some extra muscle ahead of her second year as a pro.

Clark, who entered the W weighing 152 pounds, was routinely roughed up by opponents looking to knock her off her game.

The most notable incident came when the Chicago Sky’s Chennedy Carter body-checked her to the floor, though it didn’t end there as Clark ultimately ended the season as the fourth-most fouled player in the league.

And with the Fever’s season opener a little over two months away, Clark was seen at the Iowa women’s basketball game on Friday with a stronger physique.

Clark wore a black t-shirt with short sleeves, and her noticeably larger biceps flexed as she cheered for her alma mater courtside.

The Hawkeyes ultimately lost 60-59 to Ohio State as they were dumped out of the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis.

In June, Angel Reese caught Clark in the head with a swinging forearm, while she was later poked in the eye by the Connecticut Sun’s DiJonai Carrington.

Clark later denied that the eye poke was intentional, though there were repeated claims throughout her rookie season that she was ‘bullied.’

Despite the rough treatment at times, Clark won the Rookie of the Year award as she finished the season with averages of 19.2 points and 8.4 assists per game.

Aside from helping the league smash TV viewership records, she also broke the league’s single-season assist record and led the Fever to the playoffs.

I think we know why Clark bulked up, why she wanted to get stronger.

After 1 season, she saw how she was constantly targeted and attacked…

This is a new year, and this won’t fly anymore.
