In this story:

Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark's official WNBA debut is set for Tuesday, May 14 vs. the Connecticut Sun, and the game is already sold out.

This marks the first time the Sun's home opener has been sold out since their inaugural season back in 2003. All 8,910 tickets were claimed at the Mohegan Sun Arena.

Even though Clark won't be playing in front of a home crowd, she will definitely feel an electric environment during her first professional regular season game. There will likely be a lot of fans going to the game specifically to see Clark, too, as she's become a megastar since her college career at Iowa.

This will already be the second sold out crowd Clark will play in front of in her extremely young WNBA career. Her first preseason game in Dallas was sold out.

Clark will make her home debut at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Thursday, May 16 when the team hosts the New York Liberty.

Tuesday's game tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN2.
