The best season of Caitlin Clark's young WNBA career will see her finish fourth in the league's MVP voting. Clark, 24, trailed winner A'ja Wilson, 2026 WNBA Rookie of the Year Olivia Miles, and her own teammate, Kelsey Mitchell.
The Indiana Fever star bounced back from an injury-ravaged season to play 40 games, averaging 22.3 points (career-high), 8.3 assists, and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 44.6 percent from the field and 36.1 percent from deep.
Ultimately, voters chose the more polished Wilson, who landed a record fifth MVP honor as part of another dominant season in which her Las Vegas Aces finished with the second-best record in the WNBA.
