**Rachel DeMita Out at Big3 After Tweeting About Caitlin Clark During Game**

Popular basketball influencer Rachel DeMita is no longer working with Ice Cube’s Big3 basketball league, reportedly due to a tweet highlighting Caitlin Clark during a Big3 game she was covering. Sources told Front Office Sports that DeMita’s tweet about Clark’s performance on Saturday, while simultaneously working as a courtside correspondent for Big3 in Chicago, was the “final straw” leading to her departure.

The tweet in question featured a video of Clark hitting a deep three-pointer, captioned “for those who questioned the hype.” The Indiana Fever game, featuring Clark’s return from injury, aired on ABC at the same time as Big3’s Chicago game on CBS.

A Big3 spokesperson declined to comment specifically on DeMita’s departure, citing a policy against commenting on personnel matters. DeMita’s agent was unavailable for comment.

DeMita, a former host of NBA 2KTV, boasts a significant social media following with hundreds of thousands of followers across platforms like Twitter/X, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. She had been working with Big3 since last season.

DeMita confirmed the accuracy of the reporting in a video posted to Twitter/X on Friday. The circumstances surrounding her exit have sparked discussion amongst basketball fans and media personalities about the intersection of various basketball leagues and the evolving role of social media in sports broadcasting.
