Connecticut Sun forward Alyssa Thomas trucked Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark in the third quarter of Wednesday’s game, but if she thought she hurt her, she was wrong.
The Indiana Fever rookie phenom has had her fair share of bumps and bruises throughout her first WNBA campaign, but the WNBA break at the Olympics certainly helped her get a bit stronger as the season progressed.
Clark was trying to chase a Sun player in the third quarter when Connecticut center Alyssa Thomas came up and laid her out with a vicious pick.
Caitlin Clark hit the court hard after making contact with Thomas’ right shoulder.
Despite the hard shot, Clark did not have to leave the game at all. In fact, she could be seen with a scary reaction as she stuck her tongue out to the crowd to let them know she was a warrior.

After the game, Caitlin Clark was asked about the concerning hit she took during the contest.
The Indiana Fever rookie phenom admitted that it “hurt” but wasn’t shocked by it since basketball can be quite the physical sport.

Caitlin Clark Previously Spoke On Hitting The Weight Room And Getting Stronger
Not for the first time this season, Caitlin Clark found herself on the end of some brutal shots in her rookie year.
Indiana Fever hosted the Connecticut Sun when the rookie was caught by a hefty bodycheck and sent crashing to the court during the game.
The violent move came from Connecticut center Alyssa Thomas and was called a common foul.
Caitlin Cark wasn’t hurt and wouldn’t leave the game.
Things have changed since she first started her WNBA career.
Taking hits and being pushed around was the reason why she decided to hit the weights and get bigger.
“I’m small, but I try to hold my own the best I can,” Clark told reporters earlier this month, per Andrew Crane from the New York Post.
“… I don’t know, I think I’m discreetly strong. I’m never gonna be the strongest person. I know that. I try to put on some weight, and I’ve been working hard in the weight room. Obviously, there’s some limits to that and what I can do, obviously being in the season, but over the course of the last three weeks or so, we’ve all been going pretty hard in the weight room.”
