Brennan's 'On Her Game' Explores the Caitlin Clark Effect on the WNBA
- Caitlin Clark released a new line of basketballs this week featuring four designs by a team of women product designers.
- Clark's emergence as a WNBA superstar with eye-popping rookie stats of 19.2 points and 8.4 assists per game led to wide media focus including Brennan's coverage.
- Brennan covered six consecutive weeks of Clark's rookie season, asked tough questions including about a playoff incident in September 2024, but Clark never gave a one-on-one interview.
- Brennan defended her actions by saying, "I was doing my job," even as the WNBA Players Association demanded that her media credentials be revoked, while experts like Dr. Harry Edwards encouraged the league to improve its readiness for its growing popularity.
- Clark's impact has heightened the league's visibility despite her Fever team being mid-tier and her missing games with injury, suggesting growing attention may drive future WNBA development.
