Caitlin Clark can’t stop drawing record crowds. She did at Iowa and she’s still doing it in the WNBA. Clark’s Indiana Fever visited the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday and drew 20,366 people, the largest crowd for a regular season WNBA game since 1999.
The defending champion Aces moved the game from their typical home, the 12,000-seat Michelob Ultra Arena, to T-Mobile Arena, the home of the NHL’s Golden Knights.
The Fever ultimately lost 88-69 in front of a packed crowd.
Clark finished with 13 points and 11 assists as she struggled from three-point range, connecting on just one of her seven attempts.
Fans come out in droves when Clark comes to town. Tuesday’s game surpassed a June matchup against the Washington Mystics, which drew 20,333 people to Capital One Arena.
Despite a turbulent rookie season, Clark was named to the WNBA All-Star team on Tuesday night. She will join fellow rookie Angel Reese on Team WNBA as they take on the U.S. women’s team before the Paris Olympics.
Two of Clark’s Fever teammates, forward Aaliyah Boston and guard Kelsey Mitchell, will join her on the WNBA All-Star team.
“It’s cool, obviously, for myself to accomplish this in my rookie year,” Clark told reporters. “I’m just lucky to be with these two … It’s big for our franchise, too, like, I think it just shows the talent behind us, and slowly just putting that together. The future’s bright.”
