WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert Congratulates Caitlin Clark on Being Selected First Overall in 2024 Draft

In a historic moment for women’s basketball, Caitlin Clark was selected first overall by the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA draft. The 22-year-old star from the University of Iowa has been making waves both on and off the court, breaking records and capturing the hearts of fans across the country.

With Clark joining forces with last year’s top pick Aliyah Boston in Indiana, the Fever are poised for a major turnaround. The team, which has struggled in recent years, is already seeing a surge in interest and support. The WNBA has scheduled a majority of the Fever’s games for national television, and single-game tickets are selling out fast as fans clamor to witness “Clark-mania” in action.

Clark’s talent and charisma have made her a standout in the world of women’s basketball. Her record-breaking college career and unwavering determination have earned her a well-deserved spot at the top of the draft. As she took the stage at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, surrounded by cheering fans and fellow draftees, Clark couldn’t hide her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to play at the professional level.

“I’ve dreamed of this moment since I was in second grade,” Clark said in an interview with ESPN. “It’s taken a lot of hard work, a lot of ups and downs, but I always believed in myself. I earned this, and I’m proud of it.”

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert congratulated Clark on her selection, recognizing her as a game-changer for the league. With Clark’s arrival in Indiana, women’s basketball is set to reach new heights, and fans can’t wait to see what the future holds for this rising star.
