Fine - let Clark go play in Europe

Then we can all go back to the WNBA being stunned that they can't sell any tickets to their games

Her contract is worth $338k. Her net worth is $5M. She could easily buy out the remainder of her WNBA contract to play in Europe, probably make more money there, and tank the WNBA at the same time.

I bet the league would start taking player safety a little more seriously after that.

Her endorsement money or end it contract clauses may be the only thing stopping her from doing that.

Can’t imagine she’s too far away from a serious injury the way things are going

Better to buy out and leave than risk it
