Caitlin Clark Sounds Off on Indiana Fever's WNBA Offseason Decision

The Fever consider Boston to be a cornerstone piece. A testament to this is the fact that they signed her to a record-breaking four-year, $6.3 million extension on Friday. This represents the richest contract in WNBA history.

Clark had nothing but high praise for Boston as she shared her reaction to the news. Speaking to reporters on Sunday at training camp, the two-time All-Star sounded off on the Fever’s decision to reward Boston with a massive extension.

"I knew it was in the works, but I saw it on social media and just super happy for her,” Clark said. “Largest salary in WNBA history over the course of the deal. Nobody more deserving, really happy for her.

“Happy that she gets to spend more time here because these fans really love her. This organization really loves her and I loved getting to play with her every single second.”

Clark is now entering her third season as Boston’s teammate. While their time together has been relatively brief, it is clear that these two have formed an unbreakable bond both on and off the court.

“She's not only a great basketball player, but one of my good friends,” Clark continued. “Really happy to celebrate her."

Boston was a key cog for Indiana last season as Clark battled through multiple injuries. The three-time All-Star was forced to carry a heavier load with Clark sidelined for the majority of the campaign.

Boston started all 44 regular-season games for the Fever. She averaged a career-high 15.0 points on 53.8% shooting, 8.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 30.2 minutes per contest. The former No. 1 overall pick finished sixth in the MVP race.
