Caitlin Clark mentioned that both the WNBA and the WNBPA need to find a solution to have the basketball games. But the current state is far from her ‘dream’.

The WNBA and WNBPA remain far apart on revenue sharing and salary structure amid the CBA deadline approaching. While the players have already voted in favor of a strike in the internal meeting, fans fear the same. This reminds everyone about Caitlin Clark’s prophetic warning when she gave her opinion about the CBA.

The WNBA projects losses due to the players’ demands, while the WNBPA calls it ‘miscalculations from the league’s end’ and fair demands. Here is where CC’s warning came into the picture.

Caitlin Clark Spoke About Putting Basketball First

While the veterans were vocal about the ongoing CBA negotiations, the rookies had the chance to express their views as they answered questions about it during the Team USA practice session. The Fever playmaker also showed her support for the WNBPA, but put fans ahead of everyone’s interests.

Clark said, “I think the most important thing for myself in thinking about these CBA negotiations is like, this is the biggest moment the WNBA has ever seen. And it’s not something that can be messed up. And you know, we’re gonna fight for everything we deserve. But at the same time, we need to play basketball. That’s what our fans crave, and that’s what all of you crave as well. You want the product on the floor.”

She even added that both parties need to compromise on their demands to make things happen, knowing that ‘it’s business and negotiation’. Although the former Iowa star emphasized the need for compromise, the WNBA and WNBPA remain adamant in their positions.

However, the player is generally pleased with the growth of women’s sport and its overall reach.

The instrumental star was interviewed by a Chinese content creator, Telfair Tong, where she discussed various topics. The topic of Project B came into discussion, where the 2024 WNBA rookie spoke highly about the growth.

“The more we can be on TV, and the more people can come and watch us and buy a ticket, or we can go to places like China, or wherever it’s at, globally, to help grow the game and allow people to see us play basketball, I think it’s a really important and powerful thing,” said Clark.

Earlier in another interview, Clark confirmed that she won’t be joining Project B, as many other WNBA stars joined the new league.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
