Cunningham Responds to Clark Talk Accusations
6 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Sophie Cunningham addressed fan accusations about discussing Caitlin Clark.
- Cunningham invited Clark to join Project B, but she declined.
- Several WNBA stars have joined Project B, with higher pay as an incentive.
Sophie Cunningham has directly addressed fan criticism regarding her frequent mentions of Caitlin Clark. Cunningham, now involved with Project B, a new women's basketball league set to launch in November 2026, shared that she had personally invited Clark to join the league. However, Clark reportedly declined the offer, choosing to remain focused on the WNBA.
Despite Clark's decision, Project B has attracted several other prominent WNBA stars. The league is reportedly offering substantially higher paychecks and opportunities for international travel and competition, making it an appealing prospect for players during the offseason. This influx of talent suggests Project B could become a significant competitor in the women's basketball landscape.
Clark's continued commitment to the WNBA, despite rejections of offers from other leagues, highlights the ongoing dynamics between players and their current leagues. As CBA negotiations continue, the WNBA risks losing more talent to emerging leagues like Project B if player demands are not met.
