Caitlin Clark officially confirmed her move to Euroleague, potentially earning more than her WNBA salary of $700,000.
The Euroleague women’s season runs from October to April, offering players more games and exposure compared to the WNBA’s shorter season.
Clark’s presence in the WNBA significantly boosted viewership, with her games averaging 1.18 million viewers, compared to 394,000 for other games.
Controversy surrounds Clark’s treatment in the WNBA, including a series of questionable technical fouls and accusations of racial bias regarding her fan support.
Nike’s endorsement deal with Clark, initially valued at $28 million, has faced delays and uncertainty, as the brand shifts focus to other players amid public scrutiny.
