Last Sunday's matchup between Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever and Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings drew an average of 2.1 million viewers and hit a peak of 2.5 million viewers, making it the fourth-most watched WNBA game to ever air on ABC.

However, Clark has competition for this distinction. Of the 39 players polled by The Athletic, just over 50 percent said they see Clark as the face of the WNBA in five years, but the Dallas Wings' prized rookie Paige Bueckers (14 percent) and USC's star guard JuJu Watkins (18 percent) are also expected to be in the conversation.
