Caitlin Clark came into the WNBA with higher expectations than anyone before her. She somehow surpassed them, turning in a rookie season that was the second-best in the league’s history.
Clark set records for both assists in a single game and total assists in a season, was No. 7 in points per game and No. 18 in rebounds per game. But as good as that resume was, it fell short of A’ja Wilson’s season for the Aces.
Ahead of the start of the WNBA playoffs, Wilson was named the league’s MVP for 2024. She earned the award unanimously. Napheesa Collier finished second in voting, followed by Breanna Stewart in third and Clark in fourth.
A’ja + M’VP 🏆
It just goes together. Redefining the game, one play at a time. Congrats, A’ja Wilson!
