Basketball star Caitlin Clark made her WNBA preseason debut Friday before a sold-out crowd in Arlington, Texas. Clark finished with a team-high 21 points, but her Indiana Fever fell to the Dallas Wings 79-76.
Despite the broadcast schedule previously showing the game would be available on League Pass, fans were left in the lurch.
The quality was choppy, but it was better than what the WNBA had.
The WNBA debuts of Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso were widely watched on a social media livestream from a fan who stepped in when the league's app couldn't broadcast the game. Reese and Cardoso played in their first preseason game for the Chicago Sky on Friday night in a 92-81 loss to the Minnesota Lynx. The WNBA's app had incorrectly listed the game as available to watch, leading to confusion from fans before the league clarified that only Caitlin Clark's debut with the Indiana Fever was being broadcast.
