Caitlin Clark‘s agent has claimed it’s impossible for her client to be paid what ‘she’s really worth’ by the WNBA, as the Indiana Fever star gears up for her second season in the pros.
Clark, who won the league’s Rookie of the Year award and helped drive historic TV viewership numbers for the league, will make a base salary of around $78,000 next season.
And with the new 3-on-3 Unrivaled league already paying players six-figure salaries, Clark’s agent, Erin Kane, took aim at WNBA pay in a new interview.
‘Will Caitlin Clark ever be paid by the WNBA what she’s really worth to that league? I don’t think that’s possible,’ Kane told ESPN.
‘She’s part of a larger player body. They all need to be paid more,’ Kane said. ‘She should be recognized for what she has done and what she’s brought to the league from an economic standpoint. It’s as simple as that.’
Kane also represents – among others – Napheesa Collier, one of the co-founders of Unrivaled.
