Caitlin Clark said that it was impossible for his client to be paid for what “she is really worth” by the WNBA, while the star of Indiana Fever is preparing for his second season with the pros.
Clark, who won the League’s recruit prize and helped stimulate the historic television numbers in the League, will make a base salary of around $ 78,000 next season.
And with the new league unmatched 3 against 3, already paying six -digit wages, Clark’s agent, Erin Kane, targeted the WNBA Pay in a new interview.
“Will Caitlin Clark never be paid for by the WNBA what it really is for this league?” I don’t think it’s possible, ” said Kane in Espn.

Kane also represents – among others – Napheesa Collier, one of the co -founders of the invocation.
