Report: Caitlin Clark won't play in Unrivaled league

Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark won't be competing in the new three-on-three Unrivaled league during its inaugural season, according to ESPN's Michael Voepel.

Unrivaled announced 34 of the 36 players who will join the six teams Wednesday, with two roster spots left to be filled by wild cards. The players announced include league founders Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty and Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx.

Kelsey Plum, Skylar Diggins-Smith, Aliyah Boston, and Marina Mabrey are a few of the other WNBA stars participating. Unrivaled games will take place in Miami beginning Jan. 17.

The total salary pool for the 36 players involved is more than $8 million, with players also receiving equity in the league.

Clark was named the WNBA Rookie of the Year this past season after being drafted No. 1 overall out of Iowa. In her first season with the Fever, she averaged 19.2 points, a league-leading 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds while shooting 41.7% from the field and 34.4% from three.

She brought a great deal of attention to the Fever this past season, as the franchise reported a 1,193% increase in jersey sales, a 264.6% increase in ticket sales, and a 225% increase in partnerships.

The Fever finished 20-20 this season before being swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Connecticut Sun. Along with the Rookie of the Year award, Clark was also selected for the All-Star team, the All-Rookie team, and the All-WNBA first team.
