This was an unlikely game, and remote controls were overturned to watch Caitlin Clark.
The pre -WNBA match, which included Clark's return to Iowa on Sunday, was a big hit in ESPN. The competition between Clark's Indiana Fire and Brazilian Women's National Team attracted more than 1.3 million viewers than the average grade of the league (1.2 million) for the normal season matches of ESPN last season.
ESPN said the audience reached 1.6 million viewers. After you get the advantage of 70-24 circuit, the ratings are more impressive when you think that the game is completely unilateral.
Clark played 19 minutes and scored 16 points when he returned to Carver-Hawkeye Arena on the Iowa campus. Clark was a megastar for Hawkeyes before he started his professional career last season.
According to Athletic, since 2010, only two NBA season games made better ratings than the match on Sunday. Both included LeBron James for the first season match with James' Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017 and the other in 2018 with Los Angeles Lakers in 2018.
Indiana opened its normal season against Chicago Sky on May 17th. Ateş will have 41 of the 44 normal season matches on TV or broadcast.
