Caitlin Clark, the rising WNBA star, has been added as a 'special contributor' to NBC's broadcast of the March 29 game between the New York Knicks and Oklahoma City Thunder. This is not the first time Clark has joined a television broadcast, as she previously did the same for a Knicks-Lakers game in February.

Why it matters

Clark's involvement in the broadcast showcases her growing media presence and influence in the basketball world, even before her professional WNBA career officially begins. Her addition to the broadcast team is a testament to her star power and the league's efforts to promote women's basketball.

The details

Clark will join the NBC broadcast team on Sunday, March 29, for the 7:30 p.m. ET game between the Knicks and Thunder. The defending champion Thunder currently have a 58-16 record, while the Knicks are 48-26. Clark has previous experience in television coverage, having done the same for a Knicks-Lakers game in February. She has also been working as a photographer for the Indiana Pacers' digital team, capturing impressive photos of LeBron James, though he never seemed to address her presence.

What they’re saying

“Not really much. But, I'm a big fan. I watch a lot of games. Definitely her hooping is great to watch. For sure, got to go to one game to see her.”

— Luka Doncic, Mavericks player

What’s next

Clark will return to the WNBA after a sophomore season cut short by injuries. She was part of many Indiana Fever players who didn't make it to the final game of the season — a game 5 semifinals loss to the eventual champion Las Vegas Aces. Her season ended much earlier than that game, with her last game played in July. Now, she's healthy and ready for her third year in the WNBA.

The takeaway

Caitlin Clark's addition to the NBC broadcast team for the Knicks-Thunder game showcases her growing media presence and influence in the basketball world, even before her professional WNBA career officially begins. Her involvement in the broadcast is a testament to her star power and the league's efforts to promote women's basketball.
