Inside Caitlin Clark’s Amazing Journey to Basketball Superstar Amid Her Salary Controversy


Caitlin Clark's dream came true when she became the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever, but basketball fans are divided over her salary.

Today host Hoda Kotb, for example, was outraged on April 16 after learning that the women’s basketball star had reportedly signed a four-year contract with the Indiana Fever for $338,000, which broke down to just $76,535 for her first year. The WNBA has been around for 28 years, which is really small compared to any other league in professional sport,” she told People on Wednesday, April 23, later adding, “You can talk about opportunities for pensions and charters and all these things, but it’s not something that’s going to change overnight, and it’s the mix between us continuing to be great on the court and taking advantage of the things happening off the court.” After the outcry over her salary, Calitltn reportedly landed a $28 million deal with Nike spanning eight years and including a signature shoe, sources told The Wall Street Journal.
