Caitlin Clark reveals dramatic body transformation as WNBA star prepares for her second pro season

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.

Clark was particularly impressive after the league’s Olympics break, averaging 23.1 points per game in the final 14 games of the season after the Paris Games.

After an extremely quick transition from the college ranks to the pros – which saw her drafted just eight days after her Iowa team lost in the national championship – Clark took some time to recover this offseason.

She turned down the chance to play in the inaugural season of the 3-on-3 Unrivaled league, where she would have joined the likes of Reese, Napheesa Collier and other WNBA stars.

Clark’s Fever will begin their WNBA season on May 17 against Reese and the Chicago Sky.
