"Good for her. They needed her, not the other way around. It's not a real basketball format anyway, it's going to have some of the most horrendous TV ratings you've ever seen," one fan said.
Others joked about poor ratings on TNT and told Clark to focus on her second WNBA season.
"In a corresponding move... TNT has announced that Unrivaled game times have been moved to 2 a.m. Pacific time Source close to the decision: "We figured no one would be watching anyway, so why don't we just move the games to a time no one would notice if they were being played," one fan said.
After reports surfaced mentioning that league officials will make a push to try to land Caitlin Clark after her Rookie of the Year-worthy season with the Indiana Fever, some fans were hopeful to see the No. 1 overall pick take the court in Miami next Jan. 17.
