Matchups between the Indiana Fever vs Chicago Sky have generated massive TV ratings for the WNBA thanks to the rivalry of Angel Reese vs Caitlin Clark. Not only is it a draw on television, but fans are paying some huge prices to see the battles in person.
The Clark vs Reese rivalry goes back to the 2023 NCAA national championship game, when Reese’s LSU Tigers defeated Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes and the LSU star made the “You can’t see me” gesture to Clark. A year later, Clark and the Hawkeyes got their revenge in a 94-87 win in the Elite Eight.
This year, Clark’s Fever have won both of their meetings. This season, Indiana is not only 2-0 against Chicago, but Clark has also turned in two of her greatest performances. Clark averaged 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 7.5 assists in those two meetings. The upstart sensations are now set to face off again in June.
The Fever return to the Wintrust Arena in Chicago on Sunday afternoon to play the Sky, following their Sunday night matchup against the Atlanta Dream. Millions of fans will be watching the Fever vs. Sky match on ESPN, and thousands more will be paying exorbitant ticket fees to attend.
