Caitlin Clark garners WNBA MVP predictions ahead of season tipping off
Caitlin Clark garners WNBA MVP predictions ahead of season tipping off Expectations being sky high are nothing new for Caitlin Clark. She carried the weight of the world while with the Iowa Hawkeyes as fans across the globe tuned into her each night. That sentiment has only grown as she has taken the WNBA by storm. After winning the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year Award, Clark is predicted to take the next step as the face of the league and continue her dominance. In CBS Sports' 2025 WNBA award predictions, Caitlin Clark took home the most predictions to capture the 2025 WNBA MVP. Caitlin Clark took home two of the three votes while Napheesa Collier snagged the third one. On the one hand, it's surprising that three-time MVP A'ja Wilson, the best player in the world, did not receive a single nod from our panel. On the other, Cynthia Cooper is the only player to ever repeat as MVP, and that was in the first two years of the league's existence. History tells us that there's a good chance someone else will be the MVP. But who? Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is the betting favorite at +200, per Caesars, and received two votes, while Napheesa Collier, last season's runner-up got one. Those two are the most likely candidates besides Wilson. - CBS Sports Caitlin Clark's march to the MVP starts in fashion with the Indiana Fever's season opener. Clark and the Fever are slated to open up the season tomorrow, May 17, at home hosting the Chicago Sky at 2 p.m. ET in a game that is set to air on ABC.
