An average of more than two million people tuned in Tuesday night to see Clark's WNBA debut with the Indiana Fever on ESPN, making it the network's most-watched game in league history. Ratings topped the previous record that was set in 2004 when nearly 1.5 million viewers tuned in to watch the Phoenix Mercury take on the Connecticut Sun during WNBA legend Diana Taurasi's rookie season.
Clark, a two-time national college player of the year and all-team leading NCAA Division I scorer, was drafted first overall by Indiana in last month's WNBA draft. She was able to log 20 points and three assists in her Fever debut, but struggled overall, committing 10 turnovers in the team's 71-92 loss to the Connecticut Sun.Caitlin Clark lands $28M endorsement deal with Nike Clint Davis 7:58 AM, Apr 24, 2024 "Obviously, you know I would've liked to play a little better tonight.
