Overview

  • The Big3 announced on June 20 that it parted ways with courtside commentator Rachel DeMita after she tweeted a video of Caitlin Clark making a deep three-pointer with the caption “for those who questioned the hype.”
  • Front Office Sports reported that DeMita’s Clark-focused social media posts were deemed the “final straw” after previous issues between her and the league.
  • DeMita had earlier criticized the U.S. Olympic team for omitting Clark and praised her as a box-office draw in an interview with Fox News Digital.
  • Clark had declined a $10 million Big3 contract offer, underscoring her commercial appeal even as she opted to continue her WNBA career.
  • After her dismissal, DeMita continued to post about Clark, most recently praising her as the top vote-getter for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game.
