Caitlin Clark’s return to the court was nothing short of electrifying. After missing five games, the Indiana Fever star had fans and media buzzing-and the record-breaking ratings from her matchup against the New York Liberty prove just how much the world was watching.
Clark had been sidelined for over two weeks due to a quadriceps injury sustained on May 24 in a previous game against New York. While the injury wasn’t considered serious, the Fever’s front office took a cautious approach, allowing their franchise player extra recovery time.
When Clark finally stepped back onto the court for her highly anticipated rematch, Gainbridge Fieldhouse was packed with eager spectators. Those who couldn’t attend in person made sure to tune in from home-and the latest ESPN ratings confirm her immense draw.
Caitlin Clark: A ratings magnet
According to a recent post by ESPN PR on X (formerly Twitter), the June 14 showdown between Indiana and New York became ABC’s third most-watched WNBA game in history, averaging 2.2 million viewers and peaking at 2.8 million.
Clark had already made history earlier in the season. Her WNBA debut-a matchup between the Fever and Angel Reese’s Chicago Sky-became the most-watched game ever broadcast on ABC, drawing an average audience of 2.7 million and peaking at 3.1 million viewers.
However, the league’s highest-rated game still belongs to history: the very first WNBA game ever played-between the Liberty and the Los Angeles Sparks-which averaged a staggering 5.04 million viewers.
Clark’s triumphant return
Clark wasted no time reminding the world why she’s one of the biggest stars in the game. She poured in 32 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and dished out nine assists, leading the Fever to a commanding 102-88 victory.
Not only did Clark avenge Indiana’s 90-88 loss from their previous clash with New York, but she also snapped the Liberty’s undefeated streak, which had stretched to 10-0 before their defeat.
Looking ahead, Clark and the Fever face two seemingly favorable matchups: a home game against the struggling Connecticut Sun (2-8) and an away contest against the expansion team Golden State Valkyries.
Regardless of the outcome, one thing is certain-the WNBA and television networks win every time Caitlin Clark takes the court.

Trénuje v Česku, vládne světu. Japonku z Domažlic čeká v Tokiu šílenství
Křišťálové trofeje ze Zlaté tretry nemusí vozit domů přes půlku světa, jen téměř na druhý konec republiky. Zatím má doma dvě, v úterý bude usilovat o třetí. „Chtěla bych ji získat. Doufám, že hodím ještě dál než v Oslu,“ hlásí Kitagučiová, která v norské metropoli ovládla Diamantovou ligu výkonem 64,63 m.V souboji s mladou Srbkou Adrianou Vilagošovou, který si v Ostravě zopakuje. „To je dobře, potřebuju silné soupeřky,“ vypráví usměvavá Japonka češtinou, než po chvíli raději přejde do angličtiny. Po Zlaté tretře se hned přesune do své rodné země na národní šampionát, pak se vrátí do Domažlic. Další cesta do Asie už přijde před mistrovstvím světa.Počítá, že při vrcholu sezony v Tokiu na ní budou upřeny oči desetitisíců fanoušků, kteří si budou chtít vynahradit, že na covidové olympiádě na Národní stadion nemohli. „Doufám, že bude plný.

Juan Soto makes history with two home runs to help Mets snap seven-game losing streak
Getty Images The Mets grabbed a much-needed win in Philadelphia Saturday night, 11-4, snapping their seven-game losing streak and again tying the Phillies atop the NL East. Brandon Nimmo homered twice for the Mets while Francisco Lindor and Francisco Alvarez added home runs of their own, but the headline here on an individual basis belongs to Juan Soto. He went 4 for 5 and homered twice with the second one being an upper-tank beauty to provide the Mets with some breathing room.Soto now has 16 homers and 39 RBI this season. He's hitting .256/.393/.484 on the season. This was actually his third two-homer game in 2025 and that runs his tally to 26 in his career. This ties Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx for the most ever by a player before turning 27 years old, according to MLB.com. Soto turns 27 on Oct. […]
