The popularity of Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever has prompted yet another WNBA team to move a game to a much larger arena.
Clark on Monday gave a ringing endorsement to the roster moves announced by the Fever this month.
Six other WNBA teams have opened or announced plans for dedicated practice facilities. Fever parent Pacers Sports & Entertainment, which is majority-owned by Herb Simon and his family, plans to invest $78 million in the Fever facility.
The preseason game will allow Clark to play as a pro with her current team at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, where she starred in college on her way to becoming the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA.
Caitlin Clark is going to wait until Indianapolis hosts the WNBA All-Star weekend in July to enter her first 3-point contest as a pro.

Unrivaled Basketball, a 3-on-3 league co-founded by two WNBA stars, announced the rosters for its six teams on Wednesday without Clark taking any of the 36 available spots. ESPN reported that the Indiana Fever star does not intend to play.
Clark played 18 holes Wednesday in what was by all accounts the most watched pro-am round in LPGA Tour history.
