Early on in the rookie season of Caitlin Clark, she was getting pushed around a lot by other players.

The women in the WNBA are simply much bigger and leaner than she was, and it was clear she was not playing college players anymore.

Instead of crying about it, Caitlin Clark got into the lab and got to work.

During this week’s game between the Indiana Fever and Dallas Wings, ESPN announcers noted that Clark had added several pounds of muscle to her frame since being drafted.

The difference in her arms was incredibly notable, as a side-by-side picture clearly shows the difference in size.

Putting on muscle helps greatly with dealing with players who are banging as much as WNBA players do.

Caitlin Clark is known for her long-range shots, but she also attacks the baskets with reckless abandon, willing to do anything to secure victories for her squad.

The post about her muscle growth also noted that the rookie phenom has shot 71% from inside 5-feet in July as opposed to just 56% in the previous months.

After losing their last game to the worst team in the league, the Indiana Fever are 11-15, which is good enough for third place in the Eastern Conference and seventh place in the entire league.

Caitlin Clark Breaks WNBA’s Game Assists Record

Caitlin Clark broke the WNBA record for assists in a game with an incredible 19 in the Indiana Fever’s 101-93 loss to the Dallas Wings on Wednesday, per ESPN.

Clark also set a single-game rookie assist record, passing the 16 assists set by Tina Penicheiro in 1998.

Clark also broke the Fever’s single-season franchise assist record with 202 in 26 games.

The current WNBA single-season record was set last year by Alyssa Thomas when she had 316.
