The Washington Mystics moved tonight’s game against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever from their normal 4,200-seat arena to the 20,356-seat Capital One arena.
However, the 16,000 extra seats weren’t a problem, as tickets sold out in 30 minutes.

This was the third win for the Indiana Fever who has a horrible coach and a team that rarely engages with Clark on or off the court. The Washington team has problems as well, not winning a game yet this year.
Largest WNBA crowd in 17 years—20,333—sees Fever beat Mystics, 85-83.

ESPN didn’t place Clark in the lead for rookie of the year this morning, despite being rookie of the month in May. Today Clark set the record for the fastest woman in WNBA history to reach 200 points and 50 assists in a career.
