Sat May 10 19:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Caitlin Clark Hype Sends Fever Preseason Game to LeBron-Level Attendance
**INDIANAPOLIS, IN** – The buzz surrounding Caitlin Clark is already electrifying the WNBA before the regular season even begins. ESPN reports that Clark’s preseason appearance with the Indiana Fever drew an audience comparable to LeBron James’ preseason games over the last 15 years. The rookie of the year’s debut at Iowa’s Carver-Hawkeye Arena underscores the immense anticipation surrounding her and the league’s potential for growth.
Clark showcased her talent in her first preseason game, scoring 16 points, including a stunning 36-foot three-pointer, as the Fever crushed the Brazilian National Team 108-44. This performance comes ahead of the Fever’s preseason finale against the Atlanta Dream this Saturday at 3 p.m. ET. Both teams look to build momentum before the regular season, which kicks off next week with a nationally televised matchup between the Fever and Angel Reese’s Chicago Sky. The Fever and Dream were both first-round playoff exits last season. Fans eager to witness Clark’s magic can tune in to watch the Fever’s preseason finale against the Dream on Saturday.
