Unrivaled League Seeks Caitlin Clark Participation

The newly established 'Unrivaled' women's basketball league, co-founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, is making a strong push to recruit Caitlin Clark, the standout rookie from the Indiana Fever. With the league set to launch in January 2025 and a lucrative broadcast deal with TNT Sports secured, it aims to capitalize on the growing popularity of women's basketball. Despite Clark's stated focus on rest and golf after a demanding season, sources indicate that Unrivaled plans to initiate serious recruitment efforts in the coming weeks. The league has already signed 26 players, including stars like Brittney Griner and Angel Reese, but securing Clark would significantly boost its visibility. Clark, who has lucrative sponsorships and a reported $28 million deal with Nike, appears to be in no rush to join another league. Nevertheless, Unrivaled is hopeful that the allure of playing alongside top talent will sway her decision.
