Dallas Wings Make Historic Announcement During Indiana Fever Game <\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark were expected to meet for the first time in the WNBA when the Dallas Wings hosted the Indiana Fever on Friday night.<\/p>\n

However, the Fever received bad news on their point guard earlier in the week, as Clark suffered a groin injury during Tuesday\u2019s win over the Storm. Friday night marked her second straight missed game and seventh overall this season.<\/p>\n

Still, even with Clark watching the game from the bench, that didn’t stop the Wings from hosting a sellout crowd at American Airlines Center. In fact, the 20,409 in attendance broke a record for the largest attendance at a women’s professional basketball game in Texas history.<\/p>\n

The Wings announced the historic achievement on X.<\/p>\n

“YOU GUYS DID THAT!” the Wings wrote. “20,409 is the largest crowd recorded for a professional women’s basketball game in Texas… ever. Be at The Park tomorrow to catch us vs @WashMystics”<\/p>\n

WNBA fans left their reactions to the new Texas record as well.<\/p>\n

“The stadium is packed!” one fan said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Likely expected Caitlin vs. Paige match up,” added<\/a> another.<\/p>\n

“MOVE MORE GAMES!!” wrote<\/a> a third.<\/p>\n

“Paige effect in full effect,” added<\/a> another.<\/p>\n

“Amazing night at the AAC,” commented<\/a> a fifth.<\/p>\n

“That’s dope man. Keep growing,” wrote<\/a> a sixth.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Wings have nearly sold out their normal arena in every game, but the max capacity of College Park Center is 6,251 fans. As a result, their average home crowd of 6,160 ranks among the WNBA\u2019s worst, according to Across the Timeline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Still, the impact of Clark and Bueckers remains clear.<\/p>\n

Following the Fever game, the Wings will cap off a back-to-back on Saturday night, taking on the Washington Mystics at College Park Center at 8:00 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
