Expectations are sky-high for Clark and the Fever

After a debut season in which she averaged 19 points and eight assists per game while winning WNBA Rookie of the Year honors, Caitlin Clark is poised to go a step further in 2025. There was disappointment for her Indiana Fever in 2024, despite the team’s rally from a 3-10 start to qualify for the playoffs, and a new-look team with Clark at its center seems primed to challenge The W‘s best teams this coming season.

A busy offseason made it clear that the Clark-Aliyah Boston partnership is what Indiana will build around for the next several years. The two top overall picks were not always on the same page in 2024 under former head coach Christie Sides, but with a new staff in town, optimism is high that the Fever offense could be close to unstoppable in Clark’s second professional campaign.

Clark hits the weight room

In her first WNBA season, Clark struggled to come to grips with the league’s intense physicality; her first months in the league were defined by flagrant foul controversies with Chennedy Carter and Angel Reese. To that end, Fever head coach Stephanie White revealed in a new interview that Clark has spent much of her offseason in the gym, trying to get physically stronger amid the championship aspirations that are following her into year two.

“She is stronger, first and foremost,” White told The Athletic. “She’s got a lot of self-awareness. She figured out right away that I need to get stronger, I can’t get knocked around as much. She’s done a great job of getting in the weight room and focusing on her strength, in terms of low center of gravity, time under tension, all of those things.”

The arrivals of White and star forward DeWanna Bonner, who both came over from the rebuilding Connecticut Sun, signal the Fever’s elevation into legitimate WNBA title contenders. With Clark enjoying her first full WNBA offseason — and now in possession of the tools to succeed — the 23-year-old has been touted as a preseason MVP candidate, though White believes there is more to Clark’s game for her to unlock.

“I think the next step is efficiency. Not so many turnovers, higher field goal percentages,” White said. “We will be creative as a staff in how we utilize her and how we utilize her talents.”

Social media might be down incredibly bad as Lucia from Grand Theft Auto is going insanely viral.

GTA 6’s trailer 2 officially broke a record after the upcoming second look at the game, which has continued to take forever to come out.

GTA 6 broke the record for the longest wait between a first and second trailer for a Rockstar Games title ever.

Rockstar has built a rich world of criminals, lunatics, and thieves spanning from Liberty City to San Andreas and beyond. With GTA 6 on the horizon, fans have become ecstatic after seeing a picture of Lucia.

For those unaware, she is a female criminal in the game. Grand Theft Auto states that she did her time at a prison complex in the State of Leonida in the mid-2020s for an unknown crime.

As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, a picture shows Lucia stripped down to a two-piece bikini.

“They better have some awesome clothing to choose from. Gotta look cute while doing missions,” a second fan added.

A third fan knew they were no match for her: “If I was in a beauty contest against her, she’d get first place, and I’d get disqualified.”

“She’s beautiful, my sapphic heart can’t take it 🤧,” another X user added.

“not leaving my house anytime soon,” a fan stated about the impending release of the game.

“No arsenal, but ima be a gooner for sure, a sixth fan added.

One final fan added: “Anybody upset about a video game character needs to seriously reevaluate their life.”

Fans Have Waited A Long Time For Grand Theft Auto To Release New Game

Despite their hopes for a release this year fading, the community remains engaged in hopes that a second trailer will be released in early 2025 and a release date of the actual game will come out.

With each passing day, the desire for more news grows stronger.

Hopefully, 2025 will give the fans what they so desperately want.
