At the end of the day she’s likely making close to $5 million a year without going overseas. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.wsj.com/sports/basketball/caitlin-clark-announcement-wnba-draft-indiana-fever-nike-d3ffc1b6[/URL] The ultimate impact of her going to the WNBA is unknown, but I’d bet big money the WNBA will have higher attendance and viewership this year across the board. Her joining the league is not an overnight fix to sustained growth in the league but she’s going to draw a lot of new fans and there will be a ton of eyes on the sport this summer which can be attributed directly to her.
