Team USA Coach Accepts WNBA's Caitlin Clark Reality After Fever-Lynx Clash
Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever got the win on Sunday against the Minnesota Lynx. Clark scored 17 points in the 81-74 win on the road, and it was a full arena packed with fans eager to see the star rookie.
After the game, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve, who is also the coach for the Team UA women's team this summer in the Olympics, opened up on the impact Clark has caused in the WNBA (h/t Yahoo Sports).
"Everybody knows that the reason why our teams around the league are having sellouts are because Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are coming to town."
The star rookie has quickly changed the landscape of the WNBA in just a matter of months, and things aren't slowing down, either.
Teams across the league that are hosting the Fever have had to move their games to bigger venues. The Dallas Wings even had a packed game for the preseason contest against the Fever.
Other stats show just how much of an impact Clark has had.
There were reportedly 18,000-plus fans on hand at the Target Center on Sunday to see Clark face off against the Lynx.
The recent showdown between Clark and Sabrina Ionescu drew bonkers numbers on CBS.
Reeve caught some heat for not selecting Clark for Team USA this summer, but she is not denying the impact the Fever star has had on the WNBA thus far.
