Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark revealed Monday that she is considering delaying her professional career for another season as she might use her COVID year of eligibility.
As a junior, Clark will play at least one more collegiate season before declaring for the WNBA draft. (Clark, 21, won’t be eligible for the WNBA draft until 2024.) That could easily turn into two more seasons if Clark decides to extend her collegiate career.
“That’s where I want to be [the WNBA], but I have another year here and possibly one more after that just because of COVID,” Clark said on Monday’s episode of the Dan Patrick Show. “I probably will have to make a decision on that sometime next year. I really have no clue what I’m going to do, stay for an extra year or leave after next year.”
