Yet, since then, every three months, such headlines emerge: Caitlin Clark Officially Announces Move To EuroLeague On Live TV and Caitlin Clark Destroyed WNBA by Joining European League. Some even claim that “ESPN confirmed” and some say that she has already had her “first game”.
Anyway, it is clear that Clark has not been able to enjoy that life without the spotlight, as she wished in November 2024. “
It’s gonna be nice, I think,” Clark said in her Fever exit interview, “getting out of the spotlight and just getting to live my life and do things that I want to do.
Here’s the truth: Caitlin Clark is very much a WNBA star. She’s locked into a four-year, $338,056 deal with the Indiana Fever, earning $76,535 in her rookie season and set for $84,514 in 2025. Off the court? She’s racking up major sponsorships with Gatorade, Nike, and State Farm. She’s not only securing a future in the WNBA but also making a name for herself off the court. But the story doesn’t end there.
According to a New York Post article, Ice Cube, co-founder of the BIG3 league, revealed during an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show that Clark was offered a staggering $10 million deal by the league. “It was two years, $5 million a year,” Ice Cube shared, adding that there were talks of cool merchandise collaborations and even a potential share in team ownership. Yet, Clark turned it all down, opting instead for the WNBA, where she became ROTY, made the cover of Time magazine, and became the greatest attraction in the sports world-wide.
In fact, Clark even turned down an offer from Unrivaled for $1 million. With sponsorships, endorsements, and her solid contract with the Fever, Caitlin Clark isn’t going anywhere. The rumors are just that—rumors—and there’s no truth to the claim that she’s about to make a dramatic move to Europe.
Caitlin Clark’s future is firmly grounded in the WNBA, and basketball fans can expect her to continue dominating the league for years to come. So, for those still holding onto the fantasy of her playing overseas, take a step back. Clark isn’t leaving the WNBA anytime soon.
