The Indiana Fever picked up their first win of the preseason on Thursday night before a record crowd, as more than 13,000 fans flocked to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to watch Caitlin Clark.
The Caitlin Clark effect is in full swing. The former Iowa star made her debut in Indiana on Thursday night in the Fever’s final preseason game against the Atlanta Dream, and fans flocked to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to watch the WNBA rookie in action. The crowd attendance set a record for the franchise, which averaged just 4,000 fans a game last season.

For Clark, hitting 3s was not the highlight of her game. 'I dont think I was that effective, honestly. I thought, more than anything, I did a really good job passing the ball… I don’t know. I think I got in the paint. Obviously, I would’ve like to make a couple more 3s, but sometimes that’s how you shoot it.' The Fever’s season will start Tuesday with an away game against the Connecticut Sun. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
