Paige Bueckers has signed a lucrative three-year contract with the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league ahead of the WNBA draft. This deal promises a first-year salary that surpasses her entire four-year WNBA contract. Unrivaled, which operates without a salary cap, has generated significant revenue, exceeding projections. Bueckers' deal, which builds on her prior NIL agreement with the league, gives her a competitive edge as she heads into a comparison-heavy rookie season, especially following a successful college career at UConn, culminating in a national championship.
On the eve of the WNBA draft, projected top pick Paige Bueckers inked a three-year deal with Unrivaled that includes a first-year salary that will exceed her entire four-year WNBA contract.
Unrivaled, the upstart 3-on-3 league that runs a 10-week season during the WNBA offseason, has no salary cap or predetermined salary scale - and plenty of money to spend.
In its inaugural season, which wrapped in March, Unrivaled brought in over $27 million in revenue - more than double what investors had projected.
Bueckers, who will inevitably be compared to Clark in every which way throughout her rookie season, already has the edge in at least one category - she did sign with Unrivaled.
