WNBA poster omits Caitlin Clark due to licensing issues
Summary

The WNBA's 30th anniversary poster has drawn attention for omitting Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark. Sources indicate the omission likely stems from licensing rights related to image usage, as several legendary players, including Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Candace Parker, and Maya Moore, were also excluded. The official poster, produced by WinCraft, may not have had permission to use their likenesses, leading to its limited representation. Fans are now questioning the choice of vendor and the process behind the poster's creation, suggesting potential oversight in including these prominent figures in WNBA history.
