Weather’s role in wildfires in Atlantic Canada | SaltWire #weather #climatechange #wildfireseasonNEW YORK - A star-studded draft class headlined by the record-smashing Caitlin Clark is set to rock the WNBA when the season tips off on Tuesday, amid unprecedented interest in the league.
A record 2.45 million people tuned in to watch Clark go first overall to the Indiana Fever in the WNBA draft, after she toppled the all-time collegiate scoring record at Iowa. "Nobody's been under a stronger spotlight, a bigger microscope in the women's game, probably in the history of the game, than Caitlin Clark was. And she continually lived up to the moment," said Hall of Famer Rebecca Lobo, an ESPN analyst who played in the league beginning in its 1997 inaugural year.
The Los Angeles Sparks originally planned to play their first five home games at Long Beach State due to renovations at Crypto.com Arena. They moved a trio of contests - including a May 24 meeting with the Fever - from the collegiate facility back to the arena they share with the NBA's Lakers.
