Kate Martin Is Making The Most Of Her WNBA Opportunity

Martin starred alongside Caitlin Clark at Iowa but wasn’t sure she would get drafted; she was only holding out hope.

She’s played very well over the first few weeks of the WNBA season, with the Aces surprisingly picking her in the second round.

“She executed our schemes really well. She plays so hard. Her sense of urgency has really been there the whole time,” head coach Becky Hammond told reporters recently.

The Aces are scheduled to play Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky this Thursday following a loss to the Connecticut Sun last Friday.

REPORT: New York Knicks’ Star Forward OG Anunoby’s Initial Bidding Price Skyrockets Amid Contract Negotiations

The 2023-24 season has been a season of improvement for the Knicks. After years of failure to reach the playoffs, the NY franchise made back-to-back appearances in the postseason for the first time since 2013. In the off-season the team wants to move forward and the first step to that starts with OG Anunoby’s contract.

The Knicks forward is entering the final year of his contract with the Knicks which he signed with his previous team, the Raptors. Anunoby has a player option in his contract and he can easily ditch the $19 million and hit free agency because he can surely have a better offer elsewhere. To stave off that situation, the Knicks are ready to sign him to a long-term contract. According to Brian Windhorst, a $ 35 million per year deal can be the starting rate for the Briton’s services.

The fee was projected to be $30 million but now with free agency approaching the price jumped quite a bit. However, it won’t be a problem for the Knicks as they’re well below the second apron of luxury tax. With a cap space of -$65 million, even with Anunoby’s new deal, the Knicks can avoid any penalties according to the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

More so, the franchise values the Knicks’ input. In the absence of Julius Randle, Anunoby became a stalwart alongside Josh Hart in the frontcourt.

Looking Back at OG Anunoby’s Season

Since his move from the Raptors in December, Anunoby made himself at home in New York. Scoring 3 20+ point games in the second half of the regular season, Anunoby made himself aligned with the common goal of chasing the title.
