Caitlin Clark’s debut season in the WNBA has officially wrapped, and the Indiana Fever guard took a moment on social media to reflect on the whirlwind year that was 2024.
Clark’s journey from leading the Iowa Hawkeyes to the national championship game to being selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft has been nothing short of remarkable. Her rookie season exceeded expectations, with Clark averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game, helping guide the Fever to a 20-20 record and a playoff appearance. Although the Fever fell to the Connecticut Sun in the first round, Clark’s impact was undeniable. She was named WNBA Rookie of the Year, earned an All-Star selection, and has a strong case for an All-League nod.
On Wednesday night, Clark took to social media to express her gratitude after such an eventful year.
“Year one ✅ — thank you to the many people who have supported me as I’ve been able to live my childhood dream. I’m filled with gratitude as I reflect on this past year of my life. See you all in year two 🖤💫,” she wrote.

Fans are already looking forward to seeing what she’ll accomplish in year two, and the excitement surrounding her career continues to grow. The future is bright for the former Iowa Hawkeye, and there’s no doubt that she’ll keep reaching new heights.
It’s only a matter of time before Clark continues to rewrite the record books and cement her legacy as one of the top players in women’s basketball.
