The recent game between the Indiana Fever, led by Caitlin Clark, and the Chicago Sky was a historic event that drew 2.7 million viewers, making it the most-watched WNBA regular-season game in 25 years. The Fever won decisively against the Sky, with Clark achieving a triple-double. However, the game was not without controversy as it triggered an investigation into hateful comments from fans aimed at players during a foul incident involving Clark and Angel Reese. This match reflects the growing interest in women's basketball and the challenges still faced within the sport.
The WNBA is investigating allegations of hateful comments or noises made toward the players during the incident. A video shared on social media showed a male fan sitting courtside.
The game, which peaked at 3.1 million viewers, drew the league's second-largest average audience for any event, behind only last year's WNBA All-Star Game.
