Since the beginning of the season in the WNBA, Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark has faced significant tension. The superstar has been the target of several shoves and has been brought down game after game.
Despite the rough treatment, Clark is starting to fight back, standing up for herself with a newfound determination. She understands that basketball is a physical game, and the pressure is even greater as a rookie with high expectations. Clark is making it clear that she’s not afraid of her opponents or how physical they are towards her.

In recent games, Clark has taken to the court with a different mindset, appearing much more aggressive in her plays and even towards opposing players. This new attitude was evident on Thursday against the Seattle Storm when she picked up a technical foul after a heated altercation with Storm veteran, and former Indiana player, Victoria Vivians.
The incident occurred after Clark hit a step-back 3-pointer in the second quarter of a close game. Vivians then shoulder barge into her as they went back down the court, leading to an animated exchange of words. Clark’s teammates had to step in and back her away from Victoria, and both players were given technical fouls for the altercation.
Despite her assertiveness, Clark is still learning the ropes of the big leagues. However, her evolving mindset is becoming more apparent.
Caitlin Clark is focused on having a strong season, and her statistics reflect her dedication. She wants to show that she is not just a rookie intimidated by veterans but rather a formidable player they need to be wary of.
By taking a stand, Clark is making it clear that she won’t be easily bullied, as she is already taking action to defend herself and assert her place in the league.
