**Big3 Fires Rachel DeMita Over Caitlin Clark Highlight Share**
CHICAGO, IL – Basketball influencer Rachel DeMita has been let go from her role as a courtside correspondent for Ice Cube’s Big3 basketball league. The dismissal came after DeMita shared and commented on highlights of Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark’s performance against the New York Liberty.
Clark, returning from injury, led the Fever to a 102-88 victory over the Liberty, ending the defending champion’s undefeated streak. Her 32-point performance, including a rapid-fire sequence of three-pointers, captivated fans, including LeBron James and WNBA legend Rebecca Lobo, and DeMita, who shared the highlights with the caption “For those who questioned the hype.”
However, the Fever-Liberty game aired simultaneously with Big3 games on CBS, and Big3 executives deemed DeMita’s promotion of a competing network during their broadcast as the “final straw,” according to Front Office Sports.
DeMita, a former host of NBA 2KTV, has a significant social media following. She had been working with Big3 since last season.
Clark’s performance has drawn widespread praise. Lobo commented on ESPN’s “First Take” about the game: “I have never seen that in a WNBA game.” Clark finished the game with 32 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists.
The Fever currently stand at 6-6 and will face the Las Vegas Aces on June 22nd.
