Caitlin Clark is still in the middle of her first WNBA season and she's already transcending the competition and the game itself. The Indiana Fever rookie has been much talked about since she made it to the pros, although the initial comments about her were not that positive given her early struggles.

As the weeks went by, Clark turned her season around and now more people are tuning in to watch her play. Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis is one of them. Speaking with PEOPLE, the 65-year-old actress revealed who she'd like to switch bodies with for a day.

"I want to be Caitlin Clark for a day. I want to play basketball like Caitlin Clark," she stated, via the Indiana Fever's official Instagram account.

Curtis starred in a movie called 'Freaky Friday' where she switched bodies with a young Lindsay Lohan. The movie was a huge hit and a sequel is scheduled to be released in 2025.

Caitlin Clark is drawing more attention by the day, as not only basketball fans and sports analysts talk about her. Jamie Lee Curtis is a well respected Hollywood actress, and according to her words, her admiration for the 22-year-old guard is huge.

Clark has become the sensation of the WNBA this season, especially after she started improving her game. In two games after the All-Star break, Clark has scored 29 and 23 points, respectively, to help the Fever beat the Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm.

Caitlin has taken the Indiana Fever from a 1-9 start to the season to a 13-15 record. She has also improved on turning the ball over, as she recorded only five in each of the last two games while dishing out a combined 19 assists. She is now the rookie with the most assists in a season in WNBA history.

Clark had a humble response after she made history again. She shared her happiness but also made it clear that she's just trying to help her team.

"I take a lot of pride in that. I want to set my teammates up first and foremost because I think that's what's going to help you have a successful team," she said.

Clark is averaging 17.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists, and 1.4 steals per game this season, and is the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award.
