Full news conference: Watch Indiana Fever introduce No. 1 pick Caitlin Clark
Caitlin Clark, the Iowa superstar who left college with dozens of records including the NCAA all-time scoring lead, was introduced Wednesday morning as a member of the Indiana Fever.
Watch the full news conference in the video player above.
The Fever taking Clark No. 1 in Monday's WNBA draft in New York had been a foregone conclusion since she announced on Feb. 29 she would turn pro. More than 6,000 people watched the draft at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, home to the Fever and the NBA's Indiana Pacers.
Clark has helped bring millions of fans to the women's game with her signature shots from the midcourt logo and passing ability. The NCAA's all-time scoring leader was a big reason why a record 18.9 million viewers tuned in to the national championship game, which Iowa lost to unbeaten South Carolina. The Hawkeyes were also the national runners-up to LSU a year earlier.
Former Iowa State star Tyrese Haliburton, now an all-star for the Indiana Pacers, was on hand Wednesday for Clark's introduction. Haliburton made news this week for making the USA Olympics men's basketball team.
