Everything you need to know about Caitlin Clark's new WNBA team, the Indiana Fever
As was widely expected for months, Caitlin Clark was drafted No. 1 overall in Monday night’s WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever.
If you’re reading this, then you probably know all about Clark – the guard from Iowa who shattered scoring records and helped set new marks and create growth in viewership and audience for women’s college basketball while she played for the Hawkeyes. Clark scored 3,951 points in four seasons at Iowa, making her the all-time leading scorer in the history of Division I college basketball, for men or women. Clark scored more points than legends of the sport like LSU’s Pete Maravich and Lynette Woodard of Kansas. And Iowa’s national championship loss to South Carolina drew 18.7 million viewers, making it the most-watched women’s basketball game on record.
Clark and her peers – from Angel Reese to Cameron Brink to Paige Bueckers to Kamilla Cardoso – drew new fans to the sport of women’s basketball. Perhaps you’re one of them. And perhaps tuning into a Fever team featuring Clark will be the first time you’re watching the WNBA closely.
