The Indiana Fever star player, Caitlin Clark has reached another level of popularity in the sport lately. Ever since she entered the WNBA, the viewership has skyrocketed. Moreover, people from all over the world are tuning in to watch the Fever star live on TV. Now, Clark and her side have overtaken stars like LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama to lead TV viewership in the sport.
In addition, Clark keeps breaking viewership records. NBA TV’s Fever-Wings game on Sunday attracted 652K viewers. This was more than any other NBA game on the network during the previous season. Furthermore, the Miami Heat-Milwaukee Bucks game five in the 2023 playoffs was the last NBA game to draw a bigger crowd on NBA TV.
Clark has also been one of the most crucial players for her side, clinching a playoff berth this season. She has been performing consistently well, putting up top-notch numbers for her side. In her most recent matchup against the Minnesota Lynx, Clark scored 25 points in 36 minutes as the Fever fell by the final score of 99-88.
Moreover, Clark is also in the running for the WNBA 2024 ROTY Award. With her recent showings in the league, she is a top contender to claim the award, alongside another star, Angel Reese. However, with Clark showing no signs of stopping, it will be intriguing to watch who claims the illustrious award at the end of the season.
Unfortunately, Clark has been subject to intense jealousy from her compatriots. This has resulted in several skirmishes on the court, with many players choosing to commit a flagrant foul on the rising star. However, these pathetic attempts have only strengthened her resolve to decimate her opponents.
Sophie Cunningham makes a bold claim regarding Caitlin Clark and WNBA viewership
Caitlin Clark continues to wow everyone in and around the sport with her top-notch performances week in and week out. Notably, Phoenix Mercury’s star, Sophie Cunningham is one of them. Cunningham recently opened up on Clark and the WNBA viewership record that she and her Fever side broke. In addition, Cunningham claimed that she is a ‘huge fan’ of the Fever rookie.
I think especially Caitlin Clark, she’s been killing it, and I’m a huge fan, and I never say that…But I think it’s fun what she’s doing when it comes to viewership…And if you have really anything negative to say about all the viewership and everything that this rookie class is doing, I just think that you’re not capitalizing on it, and you might be a little jealous.

That said, Clark has been a major reason for the WNBA viewership soaring this season. Also, Clark’s scoring form has not yet taken a dip. She has been relentlessly scoring for her side. Clark has scored more than 20 points in 4 consecutive matches in the WNBA. It remains to be seen now how she will perform in the remainder of the matches for the Fever.
