Will Caitlin Clark be taking her talents to South Beach?
As rosters were unveiled Wednesday for Unrivaled Basketball, a 3-on-3 league co-founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, Clark’s name remained notably absent.
The official social media account for Unrivaled Basketball only fueled the chatter Tuesday night when it announced its draft on Wednesday would start at 11 a.m. ET and run for 22 minutes, a potential nod to Clark’s jersey number.Clark, fresh off a record-breaking rookie season with the Indiana Fever, reportedly was offered $1 million to be a part of Unrivaled’s inaugural season. That’s a hefty raise when compared to her WNBA rookie salary of $76,535.
Stewart and Collier teamed up to launch Unrivaled Basketball with the intention to help keep more WNBA players stateside rather than having to spend their offseasons playing overseas to supplement their incomes. It’s said to pay the highest average salary in any women’s sports league ever and players will receive equity in the league – an important detail that likely will be a point of contention in upcoming collective bargaining agreements with the WNBA.
