It looks like Caitlin Clark will have options beyond the WNBA once she goes pro.
Ice Cube says he’s made a “historic” $5-million-per-year offer to Clark to play in his BIG3 league.
According to TMZ, the deal would pay $5 million for just ten games – eight regular-season games and two playoff games.
Cube confirmed on X that the offer was real: “Why wouldn’t we? Caitlin is a generational athlete who can achieve tremendous success n the BIG3.”
