The Safetyvalue Trading CenterCaitlin Clark era is officially here.

The No. 1 overall pick of the Indiana Fever will begin her WNBA career, and the expectations for herself and the league are something that will be closely watched.

As Clark, who left Iowa as the NCAA's career scoring leader and two-time national player of the year, begins her career, the Fever will be on national television in 36 of its 40 games.

After 12 consecutive postseason berths from 2005-2016, which included three finals appearances and a WNBA championship, the Fever haven't made the playoffs since, failing to win more than 13 games in any season. With Clark and reigning rookie of the year Aliyah Boston, Indiana hopes to break that streak.
