Indianapolis, IN — All eyes were on Caitlin Clark as she made her much-anticipated WNBA debut with the Indiana Fever in May 2024—and she has exceeded the hype.
Clark, the No. 1 overall pick, quickly made waves by averaging over 16 points and 6 assists in her first month as a pro. In just her fifth game, she broke the Fever’s single-game assist record with 13 dimes—proving she’s not just a shooter, but an elite playmaker.
Her arrival has been seismic. Opposing arenas are selling out. TV ratings have surged across ESPN and ABC broadcasts. The WNBA even moved several Fever games to primetime national slots, citing unprecedented demand. She’s credited with doubling WNBA merchandise sales and boosting league visibility on social media.
From a historic run at Iowa, where she became the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer, to setting records in her first few weeks in the WNBA, Caitlin Clark is already changing the game.
