Caitlin Clark is a superstar in every sense of the word. Starting with her legendary college basketball career at Iowa where she garnered an incredible following, Clark has translated it into more fans and a great start to her WNBA career. Clark won the Rookie of the Year award and led the Indiana Fever to the playoffs.
Given the long period of time off from one WNBA season to the next, many expected Caitlin Clark to Unrivaled, the new 3-on-3 basketball league spearheaded by WNBA stars. The league promises higher salaries than the WNBA, but Clark has been adamant that she needs time away from the game for a little while. The money would have been nice, but Clark actually has another way of making just as much as she would playing in Unrivaled, with a fraction of the time and energy.
According to Don Steinbrugge, the CEO of Agecroft Partners, Clark is willing to speak at public events for a hefty fee. Her rate for a 30 minute session is $100,000.
Clark's WNBA salary is $76,535, so she makes more with a 30-minute speech than she does during a whole WNBA season. At Unrivaled, her salary would have likely been more than that $100,000 number, but not by much. All she needs to do during the offseason is speak for 30 minutes, but it's clear that her motivation isn't really about money.
Caitlin Clark makes appearance at Warriors-Suns game
While Clark mulls her offseason plans and awaits the start of the 2025 WNBA season, she took the time to take in an NBA game on Saturday. Clark made an appearance in Arizona at the Golden State Warriors vs. Phoenix Suns game.
It doesn't seem like Clark is in Phoenix for any particular reason. But while there, she couldn't miss the opportunity to watch Stephen Curry, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.
