SEATTLE — WNBA rookie phenom Caitlin Clark will be making her first stop in Seattle on Wednesday evening.
The Seattle Storm will host Clark's Indiana Fever at Climate Pledge Arena at 7 p.m.
Here's what you need to know about the game.
How to buy tickets
As of Tuesday afternoon, tickets for Clark's Seattle debut can be purchased on Ticketmaster for as little as $41 and as expensive as $1,300. (One ticket in the first row was listed at $4,000 as well.)
Clark's rookie season so far
Clark's rookie season has had a few ups and downs. She's leading the Fever in points (17 per game), assists (5.5) and three-pointers (3), but she's struggling to score efficiently. The Iowa star is shooting 41% from the field and 34% from three-point range, despite taking a heavy volume of shots. In Clark's second WNBA game, she scored just nine points on 25% shooting.
The last two games, however, have indicated an upward trend for the rookie. She reached 22 points and 17 points, respectively, while making a higher percentage of her shots in each game.
Despite some growth from Clark, the Fever has lost all four of its games this season. Indiana, who is averaging the fewest points in the league, is one of three WNBA teams still searching for an elusive first victory.
How are the Storm playing?
The Storm have not been much better than the Fever, posting a 1-3 record through four games.
The newly formed trio of Nneka Ogwumike, Jewell Loyd and Skylar Diggins-Smith have performed, but the team has struggled to get offensive production outside of its stars. The Storm are near the bottom in points per game at this point in the season.
Ogwumike, the team's leading scorer (22 per game), is nursing an ankle injury that has sidelined her for two games. Her status for Wednesday night's matchup against Clark is uncertain.
Seattle is also waiting for its rookie, Nika Muhl, to make her debut and hopefully stabilize the offense. Muhl, a Croatian citizen, was allowed to play basketball at the University of Connecticut while using a student visa. When Muhl was drafted by the Storm with the 14th pick in the 2024 Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) draft, she became a professional and her student visa was no longer in effect.
Muhl needs to be approved for a P-1 visa to be allowed to play professionally in the United States. This process can take up to three to six months to be approved, according to the Hartford Courant.
