Deal puts some Caitlin Clark, Fever games on free TV
Indianapolis fans with a case of Catlin Clark fever can catch 17 Indiana Fever games for free on local television channels this season. The WNBA franchise struck a deal earlier this week with Tegna to broadcast those contests on the region's NBC (WTHR) and MeTV (WALV) affiliates. The WNBA announced earlier this month that 36 of Indiana's 40 games will be aired by the league's national broadcast and streaming partners: 13 games on NBA TV; eight on ABC, ESPN and ESPN2; eight on ION; four on Prime Video; two on the CBS Television Network; and one on the CBS Sports Network. The Fever selected Clark with the No. 1 pick in this month's WNBA draft. The former Iowa point guard became the all-time leading scorer in Division I basketball (women or men) this past season. The WNBA regular season tips off May 14 and runs through Sept. 19.

Caitlin Clark set to sign new 8-year deal with Nike, reports say
Catlin Clark appears to be on the cusp of setting another record. The most prolific scorer in NCAA Division I history and the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft will continue her association with Nike by signing a $28 million contract that spans eight years and includes a signature shoe. The Wall Street Journal and The Athletic reported the pending deal, citing unnamed people familiar with the negotiations between the sportswear giant and Clark's agents. Excel Sports Management, which represents Clark, and Nike did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press. Clark's initial name, image and likeness deal, signed in 2022, expired at the end of the 2023-24 college season. The new deal would be the richest sponsorship contract for a women's basketball player.

Caitlin Clark impresses in WNBA debut: 'A lot to be proud of'
In front of a sold-out crowd of 6,251 at UT Arlington's College Park Center, 2024 No. 1 pick Catlin Clark made her WNBA preseason debut Friday evening, scoring 21 points in the Indiana Fever's 79-76 loss to the Dallas Wings. The NCAA's all-time leading scorer scored 11 of Indiana's first 19 points before finishing with 16 in the first half, highlighted by a step-back 3-pointer against veteran Natasha Howard. Clark went scoreless in the third quarter and sat on the bench for much of the frame after picking up her third and fourth fouls in quick succession. Clark's 21 points (6-for-15 shooting, 5-for-13 from 3) tied for the game high with Dallas rookie Jaelyn Brown, and she also had 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 5 turnovers. NaLyssa Smith added 20 points for the Fever.
Despite being from the visiting team, Clark received a thunderous cheer as she was introduced as part of the Fever's starting five, as did fellow former No. 1 pick Boston. The crowd, while mostly pro-Wings, cheered plenty for Clark, especially as she hit four of her eight 3-point attempts in the first half, but stayed engaged as the teams traded the lead seven times and saw nine ties. The Fever are hoping Clark and the rest of their young core, which includes Boston and Smith, the 2022 No. 2 pick, will lift the franchise to its first postseason berth since 2016, which was WNBA great Tamika Catchings' final season before her retirement.
