Seattle Storm player Gabby Williams, who rejoined the WNBA mid-season after leading France to a silver medal in the Paris Olympics, had a lot to say about Caitlin Clark, and now she has made a drastic career move.
Gabby Willams has been among the most outspoken critics of the WNBA’s current pay structure.
During her end-of-season exit interview last week, she called out the WNBA and its commissioner, Cathy Engelbert, for not living up to various financial promises they have made players.
“The W[NBA} thinks that they don’t have to pay us more in order for us to be here. And I think I didn’t express that when I first talked about prioritization,” Williams said. “Our commissioner talked about us being able to make $700,000. That’s actually not true at all. There’s not one player who makes that.
“We were promised team marketing agreements and league marketing agreements, but they’ve fallen quite short,” she continued.
Williams drew some criticism for her statement, including from a fan who claimed Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark earned more than $700,000 in her debut season.
Gabby Williams fired back.
“Clark makes $70,000 in the WNBA,” Williams said in a TikTok video. “So I know all these Caitlin Clark fans, whatever, like ‘Caitlin Clark makes $700,000,’ That’s off of endorsements.
“I’m not talking about endorsements, I’m talking about the WNBA. And no, there is not one player in the entire WNBA who makes the money that the commissioner likes to brag about. And that was the point of that clip as well.”
Williams was on a plane when she made her TikTok response video.
She has had stints in Italy, Spain, Hungary, and France since 2018.
Gabby Williams Leaves The WNBA
Former Seattle Storm forward Gabby Williams has decided to leave the WNBA and play for Europe.
The Storm were eliminated by the Las Vegas Aces in the first round of the WNBA playoffs, and Williams saw her career with them over. She was only under contract through this year and chose to leave the league.
Williams has since joined Istanbul-based squad Fenerbahçe S.K.
