Is Kate Martin Signing With Unrivaled? WNBA Star Invites Fan Speculation as She Eyes "Another Basketball Job" Amid Injur

Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart are already a hit much before their league’s debut in January 2025. The major reason behind this is the top 10 of 30 spots filled by WNBA standouts. From two-time MVP Arike Ogunbowale to Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese, several players already have contracts inked. Still, 20 spots remain. In speculations to fill in one of them? Kate Martin!

“Wait… is there a chance that @kate_martin22 is doing Unrivaled?!?” penned a fan account on X on August 7th. Alongside the note, the user also posted an interview of Martin with the host, Jada Gyamfi on Estela’s Fresh Mex.

“I don’t need to get another job during the off-season, you said no. Like, can you imagine me just working at a local coffee shop?” said Martin, who’s currently enjoying the Olympic break. So not coffee shop for the Iowa star but definitely something to keep her occupied with basketball outside WNBA.

“here’s the thing: I actually, I’m not going to be getting another job, but I will be doing another basketball job,” she added.....

The league was designed to offer WNBA players an opportunity to supplement their finances in the off-season, which would otherwise be substituted by overseas games. Set to debut in Jan 2025, Unrivaled will have a reported average salary of $250,000. Surely a finer opportunity for Martin, who currently makes $74,261 per annum with the Aces.
