"We're Truly Valued" Caitlin Clark Highlights Major Shift in New WNBA CBA
Caitlin Clark, during her appearance as a special contributor on Basketball Night in America, was asked to weigh in on the new CBA deal. This comes after the WNBA officially ratified the new agreement this week, indicating that a league-wide change was on the horizon.
"Salary and revenue sharing. I think it’s as simple as that," Clark said when asked about the most revelatory part of the deal.
She continued, "I think it sets a precedent for all of women’s sports going forward, not just women’s basketball, that we’re truly valued and the product we put on the floor is truly valued. Just excited and really thankful for everybody — everybody on the WNBA side and everybody on the PA side."
Thanks to the new CBA, the WNBA salary cap is expected to jump nearly five times, and the average player salary is set to rise from $120,000 to around $600,000, something Caitlin Clark believes will benefit all female athletes.
