Interest in Caitlin Clark is at an all-time high after her performances at Iowa and her anticipated WNBA debut with the Indiana Fever. How much is she worth? And who is her boyfriend? Her first contract with the Fever is only for just over $76,000, but thanks to brand deals through name, image, and likeness, as well as other sponsorships, Clark is worth much more than her rookie deal.

Clark didn't necessarily agree with her opponents' head coach before Sunday's championship game in Ohio, because she believes her popularity will be a better indicator of her success than titles and records. 'I've been playing basketball at this university for four years, and for it to come down to two games, I'm proud of myself and proud of the way I've impacted people's lives,' Clark said over the weekend.'

Breanna Stewart set a New York Liberty franchise record after scoring 45 points in Sunday's double-digit victory over the Indiana Fever, just after her disappointing debut against the Washinton Mystics.

Not only is the WNBA's basketball tournament's record viewership expected to rise but also several other news worthy of keeping an eye on. Following last season's conclusion, the WNBA saw a 16 percent rise in viewership from the 2021 season, with 379,000 viewers across ESPN's family of networks and CBS. It will be the most watched WNBA season in 14 years. The WNBA All-Star Game was also the most watched game in the last six years, with a 53% increase from the previous year, and the draft saw a 20 percent rise, making it the most viewed game since 2004.

Breanna Stewart, one of the best women's basketball players on the planet, is returning to her home state as the New York Liberty's former WNBA MVP. Stewart said on Twitter that she'd be heading to Brooklyn to be with the Liberty, one of the WNBA's top ten candidates for the title this season after six seasons with the Seattle Storm. The Syracuse native returned to New York after winning two WNBA titles with the Storm and clinching the MVP award in 2018.

The top WNBA players have decided to move their attention elsewhere this offseason due to Brittney Griner's widely reported legal troubles in Russia and the country's invasion of Ukraine.

The greatest athlete in Seattle sports, as well as one of the top women's basketball players of all time, has graciously passed the torch to the next generation at the end of her decorated career.

Vegas gained their third WNBA finals appearance in franchise history thanks to their victory. Bird, the little girl from Syosset, New York, who rose to prominence with the UConn Huskies, a five-time Olympic gold medalist, and a four-time champion in Seattle, has been tied for the most WNBA crowns in a career. Women's basketball icons, such as Sheryl Swoopes, Seimone Augustus, and fellow UConn Husky Maya Moore, are among those to have voted for women's basketball heroes.
