Caitlin Clark vs Angel Reese - "Burning Heart" in the Desert (2 Viewers)

[Navin Johnson]

The shine's off a bit for this huge match up tonight that every FBG has been waiting for as Clark has been shut down for the remainder of the season due to various injuries that essentially ruined her second year in the league (13 games played), while Reese has been suspended by the league for tonight's game due to accumulation of technical fouls.

Probably less interest in the WNBA for the remainder of the season. Not good for a struggling league

Isn’t viewership up like 25% this year despite Caitlin being injured most of the season?

IIRC, it was up 37% for non Fever games (Fever games were up 21%)

Thx. Couldn’t remember exact numbers. That certainly doesn’t look like numbers of a struggling league!

I’m surprised that viewership has increased that much this season but that’s promising for its future. It would be even better if the league was profitable but if viewership continues to increase, that will happen eventually.
