NBA on ESPN – The highly anticipated WNBA debut of Caitlin Clark and the thrilling conclusion of the NBA Conference Semi Final series leads a huge week of basketball LIVE on ESPN.
 
Caitlin Clark, the No.1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft makes her historic debut with the Indiana Fever this Wednesday May 15, LIVE on ESPN at 9.30am AEST.

The 22-year-old is the most talked about basketballer in the world right now and considered a true generational talent. The all-time scorer in NCAA Women’s College basketball enters the professional ranks, and the world will be watching. 

Clark and the Indiana Fever visit the Connecticut Sun to start the new WNBA Season.

2023 WNBA Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston links with Clark in the Fever starting five, against a strong Connecticut outfit that includes 2023 WNBA MVP Runner-Up Alyssa Thomas and five-time WNBA All Star, DeWanna Bonner.
 
ESPN will utilize a WNBA Final levels production for Clark’s WNBA debut. The comprehensive coverage will feature multiple camera angles, including Below and Above the Rim cam options and player mics.
 
Veteran play-by-play voice Ryan Ruocco, WNBA legends Rebecca Lobo and Holly Rowe will call all the action LIVE from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut.
