The Indiana Fever and global superstar Caitlin Clark will start off their 2025 WNBA season on Saturday afternoon in a matchup against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.

Clark put on a show during her rookie season with the Fever. She broke records throughout the course of the entire year and won the Rookie of the Year award. Most importantly, Indiana made a playoff run with Clark leading the way.

During the offseason, Clark worked hard to improve her game and to improve her body as well. She put on muscle, which has been noticed by fans.

Ahead of game one this season, Clark had a hilarious exchange with the Fever equipment manager.

As shared by Sports Illustrated on X, the exchange was one that will bring a smile to the faces of fans.

"Caitlin Clark thought she was wearing a smaller jersey than last year after hitting the weight room this offseason," the post read.

In addition, the post shared the equipment manager's response.

"Same size," the manager said. "You're filling it out more."

"I swear her biceps keeps getting bigger in pictures as the season approaches," a third fan said.

A fourth comment read, "Absolute 100% guaranteed MVP and Championship."

"Scary hours incoming," a fifth fan wrote.

Saturday's game between the Fever and Sky will tip off at 3 p.m. ET and will be aired on ABC. Fans won't have to wait much longer to get their first real look at Clark in year two.
