Caitlin Clark's Future in Unrivaled Basketball League Remains Uncertain

The new 3-on-3 league unveils its roster, leaving two wild-card spots open as negotiations with Clark continue.

  • Unrivaled Basketball League, co-founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, has announced its inaugural season rosters, but Caitlin Clark is notably absent.
  • The league has left two wild-card spots open, one on the Lunar Owls and another on the Phantom, as they continue discussions with Clark and other high-profile players like A'ja Wilson.
  • Clark, who had a record-breaking rookie season with the Indiana Fever, was reportedly offered $1 million to join the league, significantly more than her WNBA rookie salary.
  • Unrivaled aims to offer the highest average salaries in women's sports history and includes equity for players, potentially influencing future WNBA collective bargaining agreements.
  • The league's eight-week season will start on January 17, 2025, in Miami, with games broadcast on TNT as part of a multi-year media deal.
