Caitlin Clark headbutt is a surprising sign for Fever’s new WNBA season image

The WNBA season is right around the corner.

The Indiana Fever will enter the year with as much hype as anyone, centered around generational superstar Caitlin Clark.

And for Clark's part, she looks quite ready to rock.

Check out this clip from the Fever's practice on Sunday. The normal part is Clark casually draining a long-distance shot.

But then we've got a fun conclusion, Clark throwing a headbutt into the wall for good measure.

Caitlin probably doesn't want to make a habit of bashing her head into walls. She's a bit too important to the Fever and to women's basketball as a whole.

In her rookie season last summer, Clark helped the WNBA set all sorts of attendance and broadcast records.

She herself was a star on the court, breaking the league's assist record and continuing to be a dangerous outside shooting threat just as she was at Iowa.

Basketball fans are eager to see how Clark has leveled up her game for Year 2. Maybe she's added the headbutt.
