The 28thWNBA season comes to an end tonight, wrapping up a year full of record-breaking moments. Since the WNBA Draft on April 15, the most-watched draft in league history with 2.4 million viewers, it was evident that this season would be one for the books.
Much of this success is thanks to Caitlin Clark, the number one overall draft pick. Clark earned the most votes for the All-Star game, which became the most-watched All-Star event in WNBA history. Her influence is so significant that, for the second time this season, the Washington Mystics had to move their game against the Indiana Fever from their home arena in Washington D.C., the Entertainment & Sports Arena, to the larger Capital One Arena, home of the Washington Wizards.
The Clark Effect Continues into the Final Game
The Washington Mystics (13-26) face a must-win situation in their season finale, as they are one of three teams vying for the final playoff spot. A loss would eliminate them. This pivotal game will take place in front of more than 20,000 fans at Capital One Arena, nearly five times the capacity of the Mystics’ usual home venue, as they face off against the Indiana Fever (20-19).
Earlier this season, Washington also moved its home game against the Fever to Capital One Arena, where they sold out the facility, resulting in the largest WNBA crowd in 17 years and the league’s first $1 million-plus gate.
Clark’s Record-Breaking Finale
Caitlin Clark is on the verge of setting another historic record. She has already made 120 three-pointers this season and needs just nine more to surpass the record of 128 set by Sabrina Ionescu last year.
If she makes all nine, it would not only break the season record but also her own rookie game record of seven, which she set earlier this season-ironically, against the Mystics at Capital One Arena. Could it happen again? It would be a storybook ending for Clark, setting the most three-pointers in a season as a rookie.
Clark has already secured numerous records: she’s the rookie with the most points, assists, and three-pointers in a single season. She also became the first rookie in WNBA history to record a triple-double-not once, but twice. Additionally, Clark holds the record for most assists in a single game and most assists in a season by a rookie.
With just two more three-pointers, she’ll move into second place for the most threes made in a season overall. While the record is important, her focus will undoubtedly be on securing the Fever’s best record in 12 seasons, when they went 22-12 in 2012 and won the championship against the Minnesota Lynx.
