Aliyah Boston praises Caitlin Clark's offseason transformation

On Indiana Fever's media day on Wednesday, Aliyah Boston praised the work that reigning Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark made in the offseason. Several pictures of Clark with a much more toned physique went viral on social media recently.

"I see it on social media, they’ll be like Caitlin has such strong muscles," Boston said. "But, I think her strength. She gets into the paint and she's able to bully her way and finish strong at the basket. Everyone talks, once again, about her 3-point shooting. We've all seen her passing.

"Her ability to get downhill and just stay on balance and score the ball I think it's gonna be great this year, too."

Last season, the young core of Aliyah Boston, Caitlin Clark and two-time WNBA All-Star Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016. With a retooled roster in the upcoming season, they hope to put up a deeper postseason run.
