Napheesa Collier admits that Caitlin Clark is a huge draw for the WNBA and deserving of the attention she is getting.
The Minnesota Lynx superstar spoke about it in an interview with ESPN's First Take when asked on Clark and the Fever's 41 nationally televised games in the upcoming WNBA season.
"People want to watch Caitlin play. You have to put the people on TV that people want to see but at the same time, there are stars all over the league and you want good basketball as well," she said while batting for good coverage as well for the rest of the league.
As per a league announcement, Caitlin Clark and the Fever will have 41 of their 44 games in the 2025 WNBA campaign nationally televised. It is eight games more than what league MVP A'ja Wilson's Las Vegas Aces (33) got and nine more than that of the reigning WNBA champions New York Liberty (32).
