Caitlin Clark’s agent recently conceded that the WNBA will likely never be able to pay the Indiana Fever star what she’s really worth – just one month before Angel Reese similarly bemoaned the modest salary she receives from the league yet again.
Speaking to ESPN on February 17, Excel Sports Management’s Erin Kane – who represents Napheesa Collier, Arike Ogunbowale and others in addition to Clark – acknowledged that the 23-year-old’s WNBA salary won’t ever reflect the actual impact she has on the league.
“Will Caitlin Clark ever be paid by the WNBA what she’s really worth to that league? I don’t think that’s possible,” Kane said. “She’s part of a larger player body. They all need to be paid more. She should be recognized for what she has done and what she’s brought to the league from an economic standpoint. It’s as simple as that.”
