Caitlin Clark's teammate Erica Wheeler steals spotlight arriving in $34,000 exotic ride for Fever vs Liberty game in Indiana

The addition of Caitlin Clark has made the Indiana Fever one of the most exciting teams in the WNBA. Besides the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, more players are drawing attention, as the Fever gets more and more popular.

Guard Erica Wheeler turned a lot of heads to her on Thursday thanks to her ride for the game against the visiting New York Liberty. The veteran arrived in a Polaris Slingshot R, a unique three-wheeled vehicle.

Ever since 2014, the Slingshot cars have been around, gaining more popularity. These vehicles have no roof, doors or side windows, which is an abnormality compared to regular cars.

They aren't cheap at all, with prices starting at $21,999 and going all the way to $38,149. The model Wheeler drove appears to be the Slingshot R, which is listed at $34,799 on the official website.

The Fever are getting hotter by the day (no pun intended), and their players are living in a great moment. The 2024 WNBA season is just starting, but the players are already making some noise.

Caitlin Clark set to play her first WNBA game at home

Following a 92-71 defeat to the Connecticut Sun in the season opener on Tuesday, Caitlin Clark and her Fever are ready to bounce back against the New York Liberty at home. As soon as she declared for the 2024 WNBA draft, the Fever decided to move the game to the Indiana Pacers' arena, Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Clark became a phenom with the Iowa Hawkeyes, and many are expecting her to make history in the WNBA, as she did in the NCAA. Going against the 2023 WNBA Finals runners-up, this matchup is a must-watch for plenty of the league's fans.

The opportunity to see Caitlin Clark battling it out with Sabrina Ionescu is delightful for fans and many hope this will be the first of many duels between these two stars.

Caitlin Clark debut against Connecticut Sun draws surge in viewers

If the first game of her career was a big event, Thursday's game has everything to surpass it. Clark's debut was the most-watched WNBA game in 23 years with 2.12 million spectators tuning in.

The Clark effect is huge and the ratings may confirm that she's the next big thing for women's basketball. She must show a better game today after struggling against the Sun. Caitlin Clark is already a star but it's time to showcase her talents on the court.
