ESPN Analyst Gives Honest Reaction to Caitlin Clark’s Impact on WNBA
ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith declared Caitlin Clark the driving force behind the WNBA’s recent surge, calling her “the cash cow” whose presence lifts ratings, revenue, and general interest in the league.
Smith praised Clark as a transformative figure, saying everything she touches “turns to gold” and calling her the future of the WNBA, remarks that went viral while Clark recovered from a season-ending groin injury.
“Caitlin Clark is the cash cow. She is box office. When she plays, the ratings go up, revenue goes up, interest goes up; when she doesn’t play, it plummets,” Smith said. “Everything she touches in women’s basketball turns to gold… she is the future of the WNBA, she’s legit.”

The ESPN analyst framed Clark not only as a star on the court but as the league’s best commercial asset, a narrative that ties Clark’s individual accolades to broader growth in women’s basketball and the WNBA’s market momentum.
This season Clark appeared in just 13 of Indiana’s 44 regular-season games because of the injury she suffered before the All-Star break, a fact that highlighted Smith’s point about how the WNBA’s visibility dips when she’s absent.
Clark’s ascent from a historic collegiate career at Iowa to an immediate commercial draw in the pros underpins Smith’s argument. Clark arrived in the WNBA already carrying massive national attention. She has continued to generate record ticket sales and television audiences in games where she has played, which resulted in Fever adjusting their home game events due to the demand.
In the 2025 season, Caitlin Clark averaged 16.5 points per game, 8.8 assists, and 5.0 rebounds. She shot 36.7% from the field and 27.9% from the free-throw line.
