The Indiana Fever, along with the rest of the basketball-centric city and state, are ready to welcome 2024 WNBA Draft No. 1 overall pick Caitlin Clark.
Michelle Lennis grew up playing basketball in Indiana as a born-and-raised Purdue fan. But this season, Lennis also found herself cheering for the Iowa women's basketball team led by Caitlin Clark as the college player rocketed her sport to new levels. When the Indiana Fever made Clark its No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft Monday, it immediately turned up the heat in a city and state that already lives and breathes basketball. Lennis, 43, was all-in on the excitement.
The anticipation of the Fever's pick was already clear this spring. The WNBA scheduled 36 of the team's 40 regular season games for national broadcasts or on streaming partners, appearing eight times across ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 as well as eight times on ION and twice on CBS. Last season, the Fever had one game scheduled to be shown on ESPN and no appearances on the other networks. The team hasn't said how many tickets it sold during the 2023 season.
