Fever G Caitlin Clark reprised her role as special contributor for NBC’s “Basketball Night in America” before Knicks-Thunder.
On the new collective bargaining agreement between the WNBA and its players: “People put a lot of time and energy into it, took time away from their families. … Just really grateful and thankful.”On the salary increase and revenue sharing components in the new CBA: “I think it sets a precedent for all of women’s sports going forward, not just women’s basketball. That we’re truly valued and the product that we put on the floor is valued.”On her role in the growth of women’s sports: “It was never my goal to change women’s sports. I show up, played, and I loved every single second. I feel a responsibility to show up and put a smile on everybody’s face that buys a ticket and comes to watch us play.”On Fever’s upcoming season: “We were trying to win it all last season. That’s what we’re trying to do this year. … There’s over 100 players in the league that are free agents. So we only really know about five people, or three people that are going to be on our team next year. But I feel like we have a great core” (“Basketball Night in America,” NBC, 3/29).
