Big3 commentator Rachel DeMita let go after posting Caitlin Clark tweet
The Big3 has no use for Caitlin Clark mania. Ice Cube's basketball league fired courtside commentator Rachel DeMita after roughly one year, according to Front Office Sports, with the 'final straw' being when DeMita tweeted about Clark's performance against the Liberty this past Saturday while she was working during a league game. DeMita, a popular basketball commentator with nearly 279,000 followers on X and at least 1 million on Instagram, posted eight times that day — which she indicated was her birthday — and all involved Clark. 4 Rachel DeMita posted this photo in May of her wearing a Caitlin Clark jersey. @rademita/Instagram She quote tweeted at 3:32 p.m. a clip of Clark's highlights from her return from injury in the win over the Liberty with the caption, 'for those who questioned the hype.' The Big3's scheduled listed four games that day, with a 3 p.m. ET tip time. There is beef between the Big3 and Clark after the Fever's star turned down the league's $10 million offer to play in the three-on-three league. Ice Cube said on 'The Dan Patrick Show' last June that the deal would have been for two years at $5 million each season and they had even discussed team ownership, plus merchandise benefits. 4 Caitlin Clark in action Thursday against the Valkyries. NBAE via Getty Images 'We believe her coming into the BIG3 would be such a big deal that all boats would rise and the league would benefit from the attention,' Ice Cube said last year. That salary would have been a humungous raise from her four-year, $338,056 contract after being drafted No. 1 last year by Indiana. 4 DeMita interviewing Carmelo Anthony at a Big3 event. @redemita/YouTube However, Clark is not like most WNBA players due to her lucrative endorsement offers that can make up for the roughly $84,500 yearly salary. She signed a historic eight-year, $28 million shoe deal with Nike. 4 DeMita at a Big3 event. @redemita/YouTube DeMita has not commented on the news on either her Instagram or X channels. The Big3 announced DeMita's role upon her hiring as: 'She will be giving basketball fans a behind-the-scenes look into the upstart basketball league and amplifying the voices of the star-studded league, which include Nancy Liberman, Lisa Leslie, Jason Richardson, Frank Nitty and other former NBA players.'

LeBron James' message for Caitlin Clark after dominant return from injury
While the Fever camp is certainly ecstatic to have Caitlin Clark back, LeBron James may be just as excited. After missing five games with a strained quad, Clark returned to the active roster on Saturday for a showdown against the Liberty. The 2024 Rookie of the Year didn't miss a beat in getting back into the game. Clark scored 32 points and also tallied eight rebounds and nine assists. She went 7-for-14 on 3-pointers and was a thorn in the Liberty's side to deliver the defending champions their first loss of the season, 102-88, putting an end to their historic 9-0 start. Advertisement 3 Caitlin Clark (22) high-fives fans after scoring a 3-pointer during a game between the Indiana Fever and the New York Liberty at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Grace Smith/IndyStar The four-time NBA champion took to X to put out his thoughts on the impressive performance comeback performance. 'The CC EFFECT!! WELCOME BACK! You were missed!' he posted. James and Clark always been each other's camps and defended one another when needed, dating back to Clark's days at Iowa. Advertisement James has come to Clark's defense on multiple occasions. He backed her when she was receiving criticism from veteran WNBA players prior to here entering the league, such as Diana Taurasi saying a 'reality check' was on the way and Breanna Stewart saying that Clark would need a title in college to be considered an all-time great. 'If you don't rock with Caitlin Clark game you're just a FLAT OUT HATER!!!!!' James posted on X in April 2024. 'Stay far away from them people!! PLEASE.' 3 Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) reacts during the first half in game five of first round for the 2025 NBA Playoffs at Arena. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Advertisement Last August, he posted again as Clark dropped 31 points and 12 assists in a big win over the Sky, 100-81. 'CAITLIN CLARK!!!!! HI HATERS,' James posted on X. Clark has also returned the favor and called James her NBA 'GOAT' in an interview with David Letterman in April. 3 Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) shoots the ball while New York Liberty guard Natasha Cloud (9) defends in the first half at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images Advertisement 'LeBron is, like, the greatest player of all-time,' she said. 'He's still one of the best players, if not the best player in the world … It's incredible what he's done for the game of basketball and the way he's carried himself. I've always been a fan of him.' During Clark's brief absence, the WNBA saw ratings go down 53 percent. Fever games averaged 1,810,000 viewers with Clark compared to 847,000 without her. It's safe to say James is locked in.
