Part 3/6:
Alex attempted to save face by emphasizing that the league had made a concerted effort to recruit Clark. He commented, “We always want to be a home for the best of the best.” The league had also expanded its roster from 30 to 36 players, which led to speculation that the additional spots were created to accommodate Clark. However, Alex clarified that the roster expansion was more about including Alysa Thompson from the Connecticut Sun and not merely a strategy to lure Clark. This statement raised questions among the audience, leaving some viewers unconvinced about the sincerity of his claims.
