Could Caitlin Clark play in the NBA?

There is a very short answer to this and it is a no. However, if fans want to tickle their bones who always think of hypotheticals, there could be a possibility where Caitlin Clark plays in the NBA over the WNBA. How would she be able to do that? Well, this article aims to decipher and analyze that very concept.
Caitlin Clark is very clearly a woman. Those who play in the NBA are men and it has been that way since the league has started. In fact, there are not a lot of leagues in the world which allow men and women to play together due to the physical differences of both genders. Despite this, there is still a chance that her name enters the association.
It is not and would not be the first time that a woman becomes a part of an NBA squad. Denise Long and Luisa Harris both got picked to be part of the association. Both of them had significant skills which could have fared well in the league. Harris, especially, was selected by the San Francisco Warriors but just refused to try out. If she did, she would have been the only woman to play in a professional NBA game.
Clark has the same impact and skills as these women who were mentioned above. So, it could become a real possibility that the NBA drafts her into their league. After all, she has increased viewership for the WNBA. Hopefully, she gets the chance to fulfill this hypothetical and end up adding to her already unreal resume.
