The WNBA continues to reach record marks this season with Sunday's matchup between Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky marking another major milestone for women's basketball.
The rookie rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese has become a highlight of this year's WNBA season, and for the third time since the pair made their professional debut, fans will have the chance to see it all play out again.

USA Today reported, citing data from TickPick, that Sunday afternoon's game in Chicago is on record as the most expensive WNBA game in history.
Citing those same data, NBC Sports Chicago reported that the average ticket price for this weekend's contest is $271, with the most expensive ticket available costing just over $9,000.
The year's rookie class has helped draw record crowds and spectators, and the former Iowa star is leading the way. She had a team-high 23 points and nine assists in last weekend's win over the Sky, which became the most-watched WNBA game on any network in 23 years.

CAITLIN CLARK IN HEADLINES THE MOST VIEWED WNBA GAME IN OVER 20 YEARS
Earlier this month, the WNBA announced that May marked the highest-attended opening month in 26 years and the most-watched season opener across all networks.
“What's happening now in women's basketball is confirmation of what we've always known: the demand is there and women's sports are a valuable investment,” chief growth officer Colie Edison said in a statement last week.
“We are encouraged by the growing engagement across all of our verticals, especially as we welcome new and diverse audiences to our fandom. The WNBA continues to see sustained growth as our league embraces this increased momentum.”
