Breaking just now:Caitlin Clark just fired her agent after forceful misunderstanding

Caitlin Clark’s women’s college basketball career isn’t over yet, but the Iowa star has already received a lucrative offer to play for a professional league. And it’s not the WNBA.

Ice Cube confirmed Wednesday on social media that his BIG3 three-on-three men’s basketball league offered Clark $5 million to become its first female player. The rapper, who founded the league with business partner Jeff Kwatinetz, did so in an X (formerly Twitter) thread that started with a repost of a TMZ tweet

We intended the offer to remain private while Caitlin Clark plays for the championship,” Ice Cube wrote, referencing the Hawkeyes’ NCAA Tournament run that continues Saturday with a Sweet 16 matchup with Colorado. “But I won’t deny what’s now already out there: BIG3 made a historic offer to Caitlin Clark. Why wouldn’t we? Caitlin is a generational athlete who can achieve tremendous success in the BIG3

Clark, the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I basketball, has declared for this year’s WNBA draft and is expected to be selected No. 1 overall by the Indiana Fever. It remains to be seen whether the 6-foot guard is willing or even able to play for BIG3. That league runs from June through August, so there is plenty of potential for conflict with the WNBA, which starts in May and ends in September.

The WNBA, its players’ association and representatives for Clark did not reply to requests for comment from The Los Angeles Times

The highest paid player in the WNBA is currently Jackie Young of the Las Vegas Aces, who signed a two-year deal averaging $252,450 a season. Assuming she is drafted by the Fever with the No. 1 pick, Clark would be eligible for a four-year, $338,056 contract.
