Caitlin Clark joined in on sending an official “warning” to the WNBA over All-Star Weekend.

The WNBA and the league’s players are currently negotiating a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The current CBA between the league and the players expires at the end of October. It’s a critical time for the league, which has grown a lot in recent years.

The WNBA’s players, understandably, want to be paid a lot more by the league. The league, of course, is doing its best to negotiate the kind of salaries that they believe work best for both parties.

Clark has made it clear that the league’s top players will continue to fight for better pay.

Clark and the league’s top players were spotted wearing “Pay Us What You Owe Us” shirts at WNBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis, Indiana.

“WNBA All-Star capts. Napheesa Collier & Caitlin Clark addressing the media right now,” Annie Costabile of FOS said via X. “Both have fielded questions on the CBA. Clark said players are fortunate to have lucrative deals off the court, but they’re fighting for better W paychecks as the league continues to grow.”

The WNBA currently has a salary cap of $1,507,100 per team. That’s a fraction of what NBA teams have. Obviously, the NBA makes significantly more money, but the WNBA has very much been growing, too.

The league’s highest-paid player makes less than $300,000 per season. Arike Ogunbowale of the Dallas Wings signed a three-year deal worth $725,952 back in 2023. She’s the only player in league history to surpass the $700,000 mark.

WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert, meanwhile, believes that progress is being made.

“It was very constructive dialogue,” she said at the All-Star Break. “I think, you know, obviously part of the process is to go back and forth and listen to the players, they listen to us and the owners who represent the board of governors. I still feel really optimistic that we can get something transformational done by the end. But it’s a process.”

It’s clear that Clark and the league’s top players will continue to fight in a major way.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
