Caitlin Clark's Fever Owned the TOP 3 Playoff Games — Then the WNBA LOST 1 MILLION Viewers!

Caitlin Clark's Fever and the Aces played the three most-watched games of a record WNBA first round, and Game 3 drew 2.25 million viewers on a Thursday night against NFL football. Then Indiana was eliminated, and the semifinal openers fell to about 1.2 million. Is the WNBA's postseason worth half as much without Clark? Front Office Hoops breaks down the numbers network by network. We look at what Clark, Stephanie White and A'ja Wilson said after Game 3, give the strongest case that the league is growing without her, and make three predictions for Saturday's Valkyries-Dream Finals. We also explain why these ratings should shape how Indiana handles Clark's extension and Kelsey Mitchell's free agency.
