Following Caitlin Clark’s departure from the playoffs, WNBA viewership took a nosedive. Fans across the league were captivated by Clark’s electrifying performances on the court, but her absence seemed to have a significant impact on the audience engagement and viewership numbers.
The dynamic playstyle and charisma she brought to the game appeared to draw in a considerable portion of the fan base, making her a central figure in the league’s narrative.
