Caitlin Clark was candid when asked about the WNBA's growth during an appearance at the Cardiovascular Research Technologies meeting on Sunday. Clark said she's not a big fan of comparing the WNBA to the NBA, mostly because it isn't fair.

“I think where the WNBA is right now, it's pretty incredible," Clark said. "I think most people would not believe it's in the place it is right now.
"When people keep asking those questions of where I believe it's going to be in five years, the answer is people didn't even think we'd be right here right now and I think really the sky is the limit."

On Saturday's episode "Unapologetically Angel," Chicago Sky star Angel Reese threatened to skip WNBA games if the league doesn't meet the players' demands for the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Reese is on a four-year rookie contract and is set to make around $75,000 this season, per Spotrac. Fans didn't take kindly to Reese’s comments and are now advocating for Caitlin Clark to be put in the "CBA negotiating room."

“Put her in the cba negotiating room i’m so serious,” one fan said.
