Caitlin Clark has apparently received a lucractive contract offer from a professional basketball league.
The BIG3 league, which was founded by former rapper Ice Cube, has offered Clark $5 million to play one season for the league. According to TMZ Sports, Clark would be paid $5 million to play in eight regular season games and potentially two playoff games. Their offer would not preclude Clark from playing in the WNBA.
The BIG3 may be looking for publicity with the offer — which they’re receiving. But if the offer is indeed genuine, then it’s something Clark might want to explore.
The top-paid player last year in the WNBA received $242,000. This sort of money would blow that away.
Clark is in the middle of playing in the NCAA Tournament with her Iowa Hawkeyes. She is expected to become the No. 1 overall pick by the Indiana Fever in the upcoming WNBA Draft.
A recent report confirmed that Clark already earns over $1 million in NIL deals.
The BIG3 is a 3-on-3 basketball league that has been playing since 2017. The league is comprised of 12 teams.
