ESPN also reached out to the WNBA and the league's players' union on whether Clark playing in another league would be allowed under the collective bargaining agreement. The league has prioritization rules in its CBA, which can affect players who participate in overseas leagues. But it remains to be seen whether those would prevent Clark's Big3 participation.

Deal puts some Caitlin Clark, Fever games on free TV​

Indianapolis fans with a case of Catlin Clark fever can catch 17 Indiana Fever games for free on local television channels this season. The WNBA franchise struck a deal earlier this week with Tegna to broadcast those contests on the region's NBC (WTHR) and MeTV (WALV) affiliates. The WNBA announced earlier this month that 36 of Indiana's 40 games will be aired by the league's national broadcast and streaming partners: 13 games on NBA TV; eight on ABC, ESPN and ESPN2; eight on ION; four on Prime Video; two on the CBS Television Network; and one on the CBS Sports Network. The Fever selected Clark with the No. 1 pick in this month's WNBA draft. The former Iowa point guard became the all-time leading scorer in Division I basketball (women or men) this past season. The WNBA regular season tips off May 14 and runs through Sept. 19.

Caitlin Clark set to sign new 8-year deal with Nike, reports say​

Catlin Clark appears to be on the cusp of setting another record. The most prolific scorer in NCAA Division I history and the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft will continue her association with Nike by signing a $28 million contract that spans eight years and includes a signature shoe. The Wall Street Journal and The Athletic reported the pending deal, citing unnamed people familiar with the negotiations between the sportswear giant and Clark's agents. Excel Sports Management, which represents Clark, and Nike did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press. Clark's initial name, image and likeness deal, signed in 2022, expired at the end of the 2023-24 college season. The new deal would be the richest sponsorship contract for a women's basketball player.
