The Indiana Fever are becoming a feared team thanks to Caitlin Clark. The 22-year-old leads the league in assists and just set the record for most dimes in a game by dishing out 19 against the Dallas Wings. Clark is already the league’s best playmaker as a rookie, and the Fever keep improving.
The WNBA season is on pause for the All-Star and Olympic break. Heading into it, Indiana is seventh in the standings and fighting to snap their seven-year playoff drought. There is still work to do, but the Fever have three All-Stars and are all-in. Clark gets better every game, and Indiana should be back in the postseason for the first time since 2016.
Clark is not just setting records on the court. She is taking the entire WNBA to new heights. The 22-year-old guard is selling out arenas all over the country and giving the league a new fan base.
Everybody is tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark and the Fever
Clark’s record-breaking game before the All-Star break drew 1.7 million viewers and further shattered the WNBA’s mark of contests with at least 1 million people watching in a season. It has happened 16 times, but that wouldn’t be the case without Clark.

The Fever’s superstar is the biggest draw in the WNBA. Her June matchup against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky drew 2.3 million views and the ten most-watched games this season all featured Clark and Indiana.
The WNBA media rights deal has just skyrocketed, and ticket prices are rising because of the six-foot guard. Watching Clark is the hottest ticket in every town. Saturday’s All-Star Game is sold out, and there will be a massive crowd watching Reese and Clark team up for the first time versus Team USA. The W has Clark to thank for that.
Caitlin Clark is doing it all. She is setting records on and off the court. The 22-year-old is not part of the Olympic team and will get a much-needed rest before WNBA play resumes on August 16. Every game matters for the Fever down the stretch as they fight for a playoff spot. Fans will certainly be tuning in to watch Clark, so do not miss it.
