Another day, another milestone for Caitlin Clark and the WNBA.

Over the weekend, Clark and the Indiana Fever got their season off on the right foot with a dominant 93-58 victory over Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky. In which, the reigning Rookie of the Year dropped the league's first opening night 20-point triple-double.

Of the Fever's 44 regular season games, a record 41 will be on national television — due in large part to the audience demand for Caitlin Clark. But it's not just TV where the former Iowa superstar is drawing fans' attention.

She's also made an enormous impact for her franchise in the online space, where Indiana recently became the first women's basketball franchise to reach one million followers on any social media platform.

Fans were quick to celebrate Indiana's latest achievement on Monday.

"America's Team," a user replied.

"The Fever also hit 700K on IG. WE STAY WINNING!!!" another exclaimed.

"Impact..." a fan said. "Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell have seen the before and after. Laughing to the bank now "

"The motion never stops," another person commented.

"Angel Reese is pissed rn."

"Congratulations. Keep protecting Clark. She is a champion," another fan posted.

"Pretty clear why WNBA interest has drastically increased. Congrats!" another user reacted.

Not much more can be said about what Clark's been able to accomplish for the league since being selected with the No. 1 pick last April.

And while there are certainly many ladies that deserve to be celebrated for their feats in The W, Caitlin's following is one of the most unique we've seen in quite some time.
