Caitlin Clark Can’t Bring Herself to ‘Care’ About Her MVP Votes

Caitlin Clark is pretty apathetic about her standing in the WNBA’s 2024 MVP rankings.

On September 22, two-time Olympian A’Ja Wilson was officially named the league’s Most Valuable Player for the third time in her career. The Las Vegas Aces player received the top vote on all 67 ballots submitted by sportswriters and broadcasters, making her only the second WNBA player to be named the unanimous MVP. Wilson had an undeniable season, becoming the first WNBA player to score 1,000 points in a single season and leading the league in total points, rebounds, and blocks, among other broken records.

However, she’s not the only player to receive recognition for their contributions to the league. Every year, a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters vote by ranking their top five choices for Most Valuable Player, with each placement earning a specific amount of points. And yes, star rookie Caitlin Clark was a part of the conversation.

Coming in fourth place after Wilson (670 points), Minnesota Linx player Napheesa Collier (467 points) and New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart (295 points), Clark received 130 points, having earned two third place votes, 26 fourth place votes, and 22 fifth place votes—an incredible achievement for a rookie.
