Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark has made her stance clear amid growing discussion around “Project B,” the rival women’s basketball league that has recently attracted several WNBA players. While some of Clark’s Fever teammates and league peers have reportedly explored opportunities with the alternative league, Clark has no interest in joining the movement.
During a recent media interaction, Clark was asked directly about the possibility of taking part in Project B. Her response was blunt and unambiguous, immediately ending speculation that the WNBA’s most high-profile rookie could be considering a switch. Clark reiterated her focus on the Fever and the WNBA, signaling that her priorities remain firmly rooted in the league where she began her professional career.
The topic has gained traction as Project B continues to pursue established and emerging stars with promises of increased compensation and expanded player control. Several players around the league have already secured deals, fueling debate about the future of women’s professional basketball and whether alternative leagues could challenge the WNBA’s long-standing dominance.
Clark’s rejection stands out given her marketability and influence. Since entering the league, she has been credited with boosting attendance, television ratings, and overall visibility for the WNBA. Many viewed her as a potential game-changer for any new league, making her decision to stay particularly significant.
For Indiana, Clark’s stance offers reassurance. The Fever have invested heavily in building around her, both on and off the court, as they attempt to transition from a rebuilding franchise into a contender. Clark’s commitment suggests she believes in the team’s long-term direction and the league’s growth.
While Project B may continue to attract talent, Clark’s decision reinforces her loyalty to the WNBA — and underscores her desire to shape its future from within rather than looking elsewhere.
