Angel Reese-Caitlin Clark WNBA showdown was most-watched game in 23 years
It’s clear that the influx of new star talent into the WNBA from this year’s draft class is bringing quite a bit of attention to the league, and the latest showdown between rookie stars and former college rivals Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark made some more history.
After record-breaking matchups in college, the two are continuing to set marks at the professional level as the matchup between the two in Sunday’s Chicago Sky-Indiana Fever game was the WNBA’s most-watched in 23 years, according to ESPN.
The audience averaged 2.3 million viewers across the game, with the broadcast on ESPN peaking at a total of 3.3 million.
The college rivalry between the two players has continued with quite a bit of fanfare, and we should see plenty more matchups pitting the pair of Rookie of the Year candidates against each other.
