Caitlin Clark Makes Bold WNBA MVP Declaration After Fever-Sun

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Before the 2025 WNBA season even began, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark was one of the betting favorites to win the award. The reigning Rookie of the Year got off to a hot start too, averaging 19 points, 9.3 assists, and 6.0 rebounds through her first four games before missing some time with a quadriceps injury. She picked up right where she left off after returning in mid-June with a 32-point outburst against the New York Liberty followed by a 20-point outing against the Connecticut Sun the following game, but injuries have limited Clark to just seven more appearances in Indiana's 23 games since, all but dashing the 23-year-old Iowa alum's chances of taking home the top honor in the league. But in Clark's absence, one of her teammates has not only filled her scoring void in Indiana's lineup but also seemingly taken her place in the MVP race.
