Potential Reunion: Kate Martin and Caitlin Clark in the WNBA 2026 Season

The recent decision by the Golden State Valkyries to waive guard Kate Martin has sparked speculation about a potential reunion in the WNBA with her former Iowa teammate Caitlin Clark. If Martin clears waivers, she could potentially join the Indiana Fever and reunite with Clark for the 2026 season. While the Fever already have a solid guard lineup, they could offer Martin a developmental contract spot. However, other teams could also claim Martin for their main roster, which would be the ideal scenario for her career at this point. If Indiana expresses interest in Martin as a developmental player and she doesn't secure a spot on a main roster, a reunion with Clark on the Fever could be in the cards. The decision to waive Martin may be influenced by factors such as existing injuries and the team's preference for other guards on the roster.
