Caitlin Clark won’t be taking her talents to South Beach after all. 

The Indiana Fever star declined an offer to play in Unrivaled Basketball, the new 3-on-3 league set to debut in January, ESPN reported Wednesday evening. 

The news came just hours after the league unveiled its six teams’ rosters and coaching assignments during a 22-minute YouTube livestream. 

With two open spots still remaining in the league, some had speculated that the video’s length was a nod to Clark’s No. 22 Fever jersey.

That detail, though, now appears to be nothing more than a quirky coincidence as the league preps for its first season in which all games will be played in Miami. 

Clark reportedly turned down a $1 million offer to join the league, co-founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier.

Clark’s invite will remain on the table on the off chance she changes her mind. 

But if there’s anyone who could use some time away from the court and spotlight, perhaps it’s Clark, who’s coming off a record-setting rookie campaign. 

Clark averaged a rookie-best 19.2 points and 8.4 assists per game. She also grabbed 5.7 rebounds per game while shooting 41.7 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from 3-point range en route to nearly unanimously winning the 2024 Rookie of the Year award. 

It’s also notable that Clark had only a short break between Iowa’s NCAA Tournament run to the national championship game and the WNBA preseason starting up. 

Clark has hit the links this offseason. Last week, she participated in the pro-am for The Annika LPGA tournament.

And on Wednesday, she made an appearance at the RSM Classic pro-am.

Clark is also scheduled to be a guest speaker at a major women’s sports awards luncheon in Kansas City on Feb. 4 to celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day. 

Even without Clark, though, the interest in Unrivaled appears to remain high. 

The first round of preseason ticket sales sold out within 30 minutes, the league said, though it didn’t specify the number of tickets that were made available. 

Stewart and Collier teamed up to launch Unrivaled with the intention to help keep more WNBA players stateside rather than having to spend their offseasons playing overseas to supplement their incomes.

It’s said to pay the highest average salary in any women’s sports league ever and players will receive equity in the league — an important detail that will likely be a point of contention in upcoming collective bargaining agreements with the WNBA. 

Unrivaled’s eight-week season — featuring six teams with six players a side — is scheduled to tip off Jan. 17 and is loaded with stars including Brittney Griner, Arike Ogunbowale and Chelsea Gray.

Sky forward and one of the league’s most popular rookies, Angel Reese, is also among the 36 players who will take the court in Unrivaled’s inaugural season. 

Along with Stewart, Liberty fans will also have guard Courtney Vandersloot to root for as the two are set to share the court for the Mist. 

More than 45 games are expected to be aired on TNT Sports platform as part of a multiyear media rights deal between the league and Warner Bros. Discovery reportedly worth $100 million.
