The league will tip off Jan. 17 in Miami with the six teams playing a 14-game schedule
Caitlin Clark won't be playing in the new 3-on-3 basketball league after all.
The Indiana Fever star will not be participating in the Unrivaled league this offseason, according to ESPN's Michael Voepel. Unrivaled officially announced players who will be on its six teams on Wednesday, but there were two wild-card spots up for grabs.
Clark and Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson were rumored to be the two players who were going to round out the new league. It's unclear why Clark has opted not to participate. She has not commented on the decision.
Unrivaled, the 3-on-3 basketball league featuring 36 WNBA players, will tip off in January in Miami. Unrivaled was originally set for 30 players, but co-founder Napheesa Collier announced in October that due to the league outperforming financial projections they were able to add six more roster spots.
Clark's Fever teammates, Lexie Hull and Aliyah Boston, as well as her teammate from Iowa, Kate Martin, were among the players who signed on over the past month. Other involved include co-founder Breanna Stewart, Arike Ogunbowale, Jewell Loyd, Brittney Griner, Kelsey Plum and Angel Reese
The six teams -- Laces, Mist, Rose, Lunar Owls, Phantom and Vinyl -- will feature six-player rosters and play 14 games each, with the season ending with a single-elimination Final Four. Games will be played on a 70-foot court and feature an 18-second shot clock, three 7-minute periods and a final 15-point runoff in the last quarter.
There will be an All-Star event Feb. 10, as well as a one-on-one tournament featuring all 30 players. The winner will receive a $250,000 prize.
League play will take place between Jan. 17 through March 17 in Miami, with 45 games being broadcast in prime time following a media rights deal with TNT Sports.
The league will also offer big salaries to players, with each player receiving a minimum of $100,000 for the season. The total payout for the league will be around $3 million. The six-figure salaries are likely to be the highest average in U.S. professional women's team sports.
Clark is fresh off her rookie season with the Fever, who she helped lead to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. She averaged 19.2 points, a league-high 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game while earning Rookie of the Year honors.
