“How long these workouts actually go for? I would imagine that these workouts are an hour to 90 minutes tops, she’s probably on the basketball court for that long, but she is running all of these drill’s full speed, so even if we’re not able to see Caitlin Clark play in an organized League this off-season, we are getting to see her go game speed and It’ll just be really exciting to see how these little tweaks add up to the full package of Caitlin Clark gameplay that we will hopefully see during this next WNBA season.”

This exciting 3v3 women’s professional basketball league, running from January 17 through March 17, features 36 WNBA stars battling it out on the court. It’s a unique chance for these athletes to stay in game shape and showcase their skills in a different format before the WNBA season kicks off.
However, Caitlin Clark is focusing solely on her training. While joining the Unrivaled League could have been a great move for both the league and her—bringing more attention to the league and offering valuable competition during the offseason—Clark has chosen to stay committed to honing her skills.
Meanwhile, there’s growing buzz about Clark potentially participating in NBA All-Star weekend, where she might face off against sharpshooter Klay Thompson in a thrilling three-point contest. If this happens, it could be a game-changing moment not just for Clark, but for women’s basketball, shining a well-deserved spotlight on the sport and its rising stars.
Caitlin’s offseason focus on training, combined with her potential to participate in NBA All-Star weekend, sets the stage for a season where she could truly live up to the bold pre-season warning. With her determination to outshine 131 WNBA players, Clark is primed to make a powerful impact, both in the WNBA and beyond, showing just how far her skills can take her.
