Caitlin Clark makes her first SoCal appearance in the WNBA

WNBA rookie Caitlin Clark will make her first appearance in the Southland, when the Indiana Fever roll into town against the Sparks on May 24, relocating from the Walter Pyramid at Cal State Long Beach.

She’ll face the No. 2 overall pick Cameron Brink and a rebuilding Sparks team looking to make their first postseason appearance since 2021.

Clark, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, scored 21 points with three rebounds, two assists and two steals in her preseason debut against the Dallas Wings in front of a sellout crowd in a preseason game.

Since the night she was drafted, her jersey has shattered WNBA jersey sales, selling out within the first day and doubled ticket sales. Since then, she’s been the face of the WNBA in anticipation for the WNBA season opener on May 14.

Earlier this month, Clark’s interaction with a reporter went viral, leading to the media member’s ban from Fever games for two weeks.
