Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever won’t be among the slew of WNBA stars who will strut their stuff in the inaugural season of the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league in January.

Seven teams will compete in the fledgling tournament, with big-time players like Jewell Loyd of the Seattle Storm, Jackie Young of the Las Vegas Aces, Brittney Griner of the Phoenix Mercury, Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky and co-founders Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty and Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx, among others, headlining the rosters.

Clark, however, refused to sign up for Unrivaled. The decision was reported in November but she and her camp didn’t provide a reason. She was also allegedly offered $1 million to play in the eight-week tournament but turned it down.

In an interview with Time Magazine’s Sean Gregory, the 22-year-old guard explained the move but also hinted that she could suit up next time.

“I didn’t rule out doing it in the future, but this year is just not the best for me,” said Clark, who was named Athlete of the Year by the esteemed publication. “It’s going to be good for me to do my own thing and have my own space.

“I kind of want to just stay out of the spotlight.”

It’s hard to blame someone who’s been in the public eye for two years now. Clark’s nationwide popularity surged even more in the WNBA, where she helped the Fever to their first stint in the playoffs since 2016.

Also, with her numerous endorsements, Clark has the luxury to shun the extra salary she would’ve earned in Unrivaled.

But it’s safe to presume that the Rookie of the Year will be watching, especially since her Fever teammates Aliyah Boston and Lexie Hull will be competing.
