Caitlin Clark, Fever eliminated from WNBA playoffs

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Caitlin Clark did all she could to help the Indiana Fever stave off elimination. It just wasn’t enough.

The sensational rookie scored 25 points and had nine assists in Indiana’s 87-81 loss to Connecticut in Game 2. A much better night than her playoff debut when she had just 11 points on 4 of 17 shooting.

Clark had a record-breaking season on and off the court. She broke the single-season assist record as well as setting the league’s individual game mark with 19. Clark also broke the rookie record for points in a season, although she did do it in 40 games.

Off the court, Clark and her fellow rookies have been a ratings and attendance boon for the WNBA. Despite the blowout loss in Game 1, fans tuned in as the game averaged 1.8 million viewers according to ESPN, making it the WNBA’s most watched playoff game since the 2000 Finals. It was the most watched playoff game on ESPN ever despite going up against the NFL.
