American basketball player (born 2002)
Caitlin Elizabeth Clark is an American professional basketball player for the Indiana Fever of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). Regarded as one of the greatest female collegiate players, Clark was twice named national college basketball player of the year and became the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer while playing for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Known for her shooting range and playmaking, she has helped popularize women's basketball, a phenomenon dubbed the "Caitlin Clark effect". She is a three-time WNBA All-Star and one-time All-WNBA selection.
More on Wikipedia ↗The 2026 WNBA Playoffs have seen a sharp decline ever since Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever were eliminated in the first round. Clark is one of the biggest individual draws the WNBA has ever seen, setting multiple viewership and attendance records for the modern era and birthing a new popularity bloom for the league.
A record 3.79 million people attended WNBA games this season, according to a report by Sports Business Journal.
Caitlin Clark's biographer, Christine Brennan makes a bold claim about the Fever star as she predicts her to remain in Indiana.
