Caitlin Clark’s Former Teammate Kate Martin Finds New WNBA Home
Kate Martin, formerly Caitlin Clark's teammate, has signed with another WNBA team soon after being waived by the Sparks.
Caitlin Clark's former teammate, Kate Martin, has found a new home in the WNBA with the Chicago Sky. Martin, who was waived by the Los Angeles Sparks for the second time this season, has signed a developmental contract with the Sky. This move marks her fourth team in three years, following stints with the Las Vegas Aces, Golden State Valkyries, and Los Angeles Sparks.
Martin and Clark were college teammates at Iowa from 2019 to 2024, with Clark drafted first overall and Martin taken in the second round. Martin played 42 games for Golden State this season, averaging 6.2 minutes per game and contributing 6.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, and one assist per game. After being waived by Golden State in May, Martin was signed by the Los Angeles Sparks in June, but her playing time was limited to 17 games.
Despite a slight increase in her stats with the Sparks, her minutes were insufficient to showcase a significant improvement. Martin hopes to find success with the Chicago Sky, who are set to play their first game back on September 17 against the Washington Mystics.
