WNBA Reacts to Caitlin Clark's Six-Word Message

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Spencer Ostrow | Last updated May 2, 2025 9:34 AM ET

Caitlin Clark is just under two weeks away from tipping off her second WNBA season. The Indiana Fever star is coming off a historic rookie campaign, averaging 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game.

She was named WNBA Rookie of the Year, earned a spot on the All-WNBA First Team, made her first All-Star appearance, and led the league in assists.

Excitement is building among fans and players as the new WNBA season approaches. Preseason action around the league tips off on Friday, and teams are already several days into training camp.

On Wednesday, the Fever held their media day, with players suiting up in full uniform to take photos and answer questions.

Clark shared several of her media day photos on Instagram Thursday night.

"We are so back… YEAR 2❤️‍," Clark captioned her post.

The WNBA reacted to her post by leaving a comment with no words—just two of the same emojis.

"," one fan said.

Fans have taken notice of the added muscle she’s put on heading into Year 2, and Clark has openly shared that bulking up was one of her offseason goals—to improve her mid-range game and floaters.

"I'm trying to get stronger, like a lot of time in the weight room," Clark said a couple of weeks ago on "The Bird and Taurasi Show." "It's something I kind of enjoy, so it's been pretty easy for me to spend time in there and really work on that part of my game."

Clark and the Fever will open the season on May 17 against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET on ABC.
