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.

Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlin Clark had an incredible night in Wednesday’s game against the Dallas Wings.

Clark broke the WNBA single-game assists record in Wednesday’s 101-93 loss to the Dallas Wings.

Despite her efforts, she could not will her team to win a game against the worst team in the league.

Late in the game, the Indiana Fever had called a timeout as they were down 8 points with 17.5 seconds to go.

Cameras caught Caitlin Clark ripping her coaches, saying, “Why are we on timeout? It’s done.”


During the frustrating loss, Clark finished with 19 assists, which surpassed Courtney Vandersloot’s previous all-time league record of 18 assists in a single game that she had in 2020.

Heading into Wednesday’s game, Clark was showing signs of a future hall-of-fame type of player as she had scored or assisted on 849 of the Fever’s 2,033 points this season (41.8%), per ESPN’s Rebecca Lobo, the highest percentage of team points by any player this season.

Frustrated Caitlin Clark Slams Bottle During Loss To The Dallas Wings

Caitlin Clark had a spectacular night that was also frustrating.

The Fever rookie sensation completely went unhinged as she slammed a water bottle to the ground after committing a costly turnover late in the Fever’s disappointing 101-93 road loss to the Wings.

Clark grabbed a water bottle from a staffer and wasted little time slamming it to the ground before she sat down.

Her behavior had a towel girl fearing for her life.


The 2024 No. 1 pick broke the WNBA record for assists in a game with 19.
