Caitlin Clark’s return to game action for the Indiana Fever against the New York Liberty following a quad injury averaged 2.2 million viewers on ABC, making it the third-most-watched WNBA game ever on the network. The game drew 76 percent more viewers than the average WNBA game on ABC last year.
The WNBA had a decrease in ratings as Clark was out for five games with her injury.
Clark’s previous games on network television have drawn 2.2 million viewers on CBS against the Liberty in May, as well as 2.7 million on ABC against the Chicago Sky.
