Clark got a significant increase from previous years.

You think her WNBA salary means anything to her actual income?

“You think her WNBA salary means anything to her actual income?”

But it does to the players on other teams that compete with her especially when she gets the big endorsement offers because of her notoriety. She could have gone overseas and played for more money and better enticements. It cost the WNBA a good amount to get her. Her salary for 2026 is $528,846 when the national average for women in the US is $57,096. Yes, it means something to her. She makes about a third of A’ja Wilson’s salary of $1.4M. Clark isn’t even the highest paid player on the Fever as Kelsey Mitchell is paid more.

But players on other teams don’t look at it that way. Clark is getting the ink. And that’s why she is getting hammered and the league doesn’t know what to do about it. They want the contact like the men offer but they can’t establish rules pertaining to specific players for protection. And after 44 regular season games and playoffs, she is going to get bruise even if they don’t target her for taking out of their pockets for play and endorsements. The men have it made financially. The women are hustling for money in a league that has failed historically without the speed, size, contact, and individuality of players of their men counterparts. Dog eat dog.
