Today’s WNBA action is headlined by the second showdown between Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever and Cameron Brink’s Los Angeles Sparks.

Four days ago, Caitlin Clark led Indiana to a 78-73 victory in Los Angeles, marking the Fever’s first win of the young season. The two teams will square off in a rematch tonight at 7:00 p.m. EST inside the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Even though the contest features two of the WNBA’s biggest stars, ticket prices are going for shockingly low rates at TickPick, with some available for only $2:

Though lower bowl tickets are still going for over $100 on TickPick, seats all across the upper bowl are going for $9 or lower. That’s difficult to comprehend for any sporting event, let alone a basketball game featuring two rookie stars.

 


Caitlin Clark was taken first overall by Indiana in last month’s WNBA Draft, right before Los Angeles used the No. 2 pick on Cameron Brink. Clark left college as the highest-scoring player in the history of NCAA Division 1 basketball.

Only the Washington Mystics (0-6) have a worse record than the Fever (1-6), while the Sparks are off to a 1-4 start. After hosting Los Angeles tonight, the Fever will continue their homestand with a showdown against the Seattle Storm on Thursday.

As for Brink and the Sparks, they’ll continue their three-game road trip with a contest in Chicago on Thursday before completing the trek against Phoenix on Sunday.

Caitlin Clark Is Off To A Strong Start For Indiana

It would always take more than one player for the Fever to turn a corner in just one year, but Indiana fans can take solace in knowing that they already have their new long-term franchise star to build around.

The former Iowa Hawkeye is off to a superb start, averaging 15.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game to begin her WNBA career. Clark is also shooting 31.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Cavinder Twins Didn’t Hold Back While Revealing Their Thoughts On Caitlin Clark

University of Miami women’s basketball stars Haley and Hanna Cavinder joined OutKick‘s “Hot Mic” to talk about Caitlin Clark’s impact on women’s basketball.

After the Indiana Fever selected former Iowa standout Caitlin Clark with the first overall pick in last month’s draft, there has been much discussion over her influence on the WNBA and the development of women’s basketball.

The answer to Haley and Hanna Cavinder is pretty clear, and no debate is necessary.

Haley Cavinder spoke highly of Clark, saying she’s a player that only comes around once in a generation.

“I think Caitlin Clark is a once-in-a-lifetime player,” Cavinder said. “What she’s done for the game over the last year is insanely good for women’s basketball, such as the viewership and revenue. People are way more intrigued by it. You can tell by the March Madness viewership.

“What she’s done as a whole – everybody will miss her. She’s fun to watch.”


“She’s fun to watch. Everyone wants to watch her,” Haley continued.

“I think she’s amazing, and that’s why people want to watch. And that’s what grows the game. Even going into the women’s NBA, I don’t think I’ve ever watched women’s NBA more because Caitlin Clark’s in that league. I think what she’s doing for the game is great for women’s basketball.”

The Indiana Fever’s rising star, Clark, has captured fans with her unmatched skill and charisma on the court. She has also revived interest in women’s basketball around the country.

Some people have questioned Caitlin Clark’s WNBA ascent. A’ja Wilson, a star for the Las Vegas Aces, reportedly implied that race had a big part in Clark’s appeal. Later, Becky Hammon, Wilson’s coach, ordered the media to “knock it off” in regards to the racial storyline but later explained that her remarks were being “misconstrued.”

Since 2001, the most watched WNBA game was Clark’s professional debut with the Indiana Fever. That followed her being the star of the last three games of Iowa’s most recent March Madness tournament—three of the four most-watched women’s NCAA tournaments ever.
