Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever has been awarded the WNBA Rookie of the Year title in a nearly unanimous decision by a national panel of sportswriters and sportscasters. Clark received 66 out of 67 votes, with the remaining vote going to Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky.

As the No. 1 overall pick from Iowa, Clark showcased her talent by averaging 19.2 points and a league-leading 8.4 assists per game. Despite a slow start to the season, she quickly found her rhythm and earned a spot as an All-Star starter. Clark's exceptional performance helped the Fever secure a playoff berth for the first time since 2016, finishing with a 20-20 record after a challenging 1-8 start.
