Overview

  • DeMita was dismissed on June 20 after tweeting three times about Clark’s performance during a Big3 game she was covering on June 14.
  • League officials labeled her posts a conflict of interest that detracted from its live broadcast and called them the final straw.
  • In a statement on X, DeMita said she felt blindsided by the termination and had received no prior warning or policy discussion.
  • Her contract for the upcoming Big3 season had not been finalized when she was let go, with negotiations still underway.
  • The decision follows Clark’s choice to turn down a $10 million offer from Big3 before her WNBA rookie season, highlighting ongoing tensions.
