    Caitlin Clark wasn't the only women's basketball star to make their WNBA debut on Friday night.

    There was a huge spotlight on the former Iowa Hawkeye's first professional game, with fans able to watch the Indiana Fever take on the Dallas Wings for free on the WNBA app.

    Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky did not get the same treatment in their first game, but Reese had a different kind of spotlight.

    Reese finished her first WNBA game playing 24 minutes and tallying 13 points, nine rebounds, and one assist, but it was her viewership totals from iPhone streamers that really caught fans' eyes.

    One streamer posted a photo of the statistics from their live Chicago Sky game stream. They recorded over 170,000 live views.

    Another streamer peaked at over 300,000 views for Reese's debut.

    Clearly Clark isn't the only WNBA rookie bringing in fans. Reese made a name for herself at LSU and has brought that to the big leagues.
