Caitlin Clark has a unique kind of star power that very few other athletes share. As a WNBA rookie, she is arguably one of the most recognizable players to ever compete in the league.
Her ability to draw in fans who aren’t used to watching the sport has become very evident, and she has helped break a significant ratings record.
During the Indiana Fever’s game on Wednesday against the Las Vegas Aces, the matchup was streamed on NBA TV. The game ended up bringing the most viewers for a game on the platform between the NBA and WNBA at 678,000.
It broke a previous record set in a game that Clark played on Sep. 1, with the Fever and the Dallas Wings reeling in 652,000 viewers. Clark has set the record for the two highest games ever watched on NBA TV.
The most surprising part is that the next closest NBA game was a matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors at 645,000.
Clark and the Fever are featured five times on the list, showing how much people want to watch her play.
Caitlin Clark Still Leads Rookies In Many Categories With Season Ending Soon
When the WNBA’s regular season ends and awards are handed out, there will be much controversy over Rookie of the Year. However, Clark makes a very strong case while leading all rookies in many major categories.
She is currently first in points per game, assists per game, steals per game, player efficiency rating, three-point percentage, and free throw percentage.
It seems it would be challenging for the voters to give the award to anyone other than Clark, despite fellow rookie Angel Reese also having a fantastic season.
