The Caitlin Clark era in the WNBA hasn’t even officially tipped off, but her transformation is already turning heads — and now, teammate Aliyah Boston is revealing just how different the No. 1 pick is looking behind the scenes.

In a candid moment during Indiana Fever training camp, Boston shared that Clark has bulked up significantly since joining the team and is ready to bring a whole new level of physicality to her game.

“She’s stronger. Way stronger,” Boston said with a smile. “I’ve seen her go into the paint and finish through contact — that’s new. She can play bully ball now.”

From NCAA Sniper to WNBA Power Guard?

Known primarily as a deep-range sniper and flashy playmaker at Iowa, Caitlin Clark’s offensive arsenal is already elite. But one lingering question as she made the jump to the WNBA was: can she handle the league’s physicality?

According to Boston — a dominant post player and former No. 1 pick herself — the answer is a clear yes.

“She’s been in the weight room. You can see it. She’s not getting bumped off the ball as easily. She’s embracing contact.”

This evolution in Clark’s game could elevate her even further, making her not just a shooter — but a threat to initiate contact, absorb it, and finish strong at the rim.

The Fever’s New Identity: Tough, Gritty, and Ready

With a core that includes Boston, Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, and other young standouts, the Indiana Fever are no longer just rebuilding — they’re redefining themselves. Adding physical toughness to Clark’s already dangerous offensive skillset could be a game-changer for the franchise.

“It’s not just about Caitlin fitting in,” Boston added. “It’s about all of us pushing each other to get better — stronger, tougher, smarter.”

This upgraded version of Clark adds another dimension to the Fever’s already exciting offense. She’ll now be able to hold her own against bigger, stronger guards, absorb contact, and keep defenders honest on drives to the rim.

Clark Embracing the Work

When asked about the strength gains, Clark remained humble but focused.

“Yeah, I’ve been working with the training staff a lot. I knew I needed to get stronger to compete at this level,” Clark said. “I feel more balanced, more grounded. I’m not afraid to mix it up now.”

It’s that combination of elite shooting, court vision, and now next-level strength that has analysts predicting an explosive rookie year for Clark — and potentially an All-Star nod in her first season.

Final Thoughts: The Caitlin Clark We Haven’t Seen Before

If she’s already getting buckets from deep — and now adding bully ball to her game — how do you guard Caitlin Clark? That’s the question defenders will be asking all season long.

Thanks to Aliyah Boston’s inside scoop, fans now know: Caitlin Clark didn’t just show up to play — she showed up to dominate.
