The WNBA<\/a> spotlight will shine bright this Sunday as two of the game\u2019s biggest stars, Paige Bueckers<\/a> of the Dallas Wings<\/a> and Caitlin Clark<\/a> of the Indiana Fever<\/a>, face off for the first time as professionals.<\/p>\n

Rookie sensation Bueckers and second-year standout Clark faced off in the NCAA<\/a> tournament twice. But now the league\u2019s last two No. 1 draft picks are taking their rivalry to the pros.<\/p>\n

Neither team is doing well. The Fever sit at 10-10 on the year, while the Wings are the second-worst team in the WNBA with a 6-15 record.<\/p>\n

But Bueckers and Clark are having stellar years.<\/p>\n

Bueckers is a consensus Rookie of the Year candidate, averaging 18.1 points per game, with 4.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists.<\/p>\n

Clark\u2019s scoring numbers have dipped a bit \u2014 she\u2019s averaging 16.9 points per game this year compared to 19.2 in 2024 \u2014 but she remains one of the league\u2019s best distributors, averaging 8.6 assists.<\/p>\n

Dallas Wings vs. Indiana Fever Game Tickets<\/p>\n

Given the star power on the court, tickets for Sunday\u2019s afternoon game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse are in high demand. Tickets for the Bueckers-Clark duel start at just under $90<\/a>, including fees. That\u2019s a three-fold premium on most other Fever home games.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not the most expensive WNBA ticket. This is Indiana, after all. But tickets are selling out fast.<\/p>\n

Wings fans interested in catching the two teams play closer to home can watch them run it back on August 1 at American Airlines Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n
