Caitlin Clark’s much anticipated WNBA debut is set for Tuesday night in Connecticut.
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark drives on Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray during the first half of a preseason WNBA basketball game in Indianapolis, Thursday, May 9, 2024. “This is what you’ve worked for and dreamed of. Now you get to put your jersey on for the first real time and go out there and play,” Clark said. “We get to play on the biggest stage, there’s gonna be a lot of people there, it’s gonna be loud. But you only play your first WNBA game once. I think I just want to enjoy it.
Even before playing a WNBA game, Clark has left her mark in the pros. The league's draft had record viewership, and her No. 22 jerseys have been flying off the shelves. Three WNBA teams have already moved their games to bigger arenas to keep up with the demand for tickets to watch her play. Her debut in Connecticut is sold out — the first sellout for the Sun in a season opener since they played their inaugural game at Mohegan Sun Arena in 2003 after moving from Orlando.
This will be the second sold out crowd Clark will play in front of in her extremely young WNBA career. Her preseason game in Dallas was sold out, too. Over 13,000 fans also turned up for her only home preseason game.Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
