WNBA stars Caitlin Clark and A’ja Wilson have been named the Associated Press Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year, respectively. Clark scored the most points in a single season for a rookie and broke the league’s assist mark. She made her debut for the Indiana Fever in May and will appear in the playoffs on Sunday. Wilson became the fourth player in history to win Player of the Year three times and the first to score 1,000 points in a season. She also played for Team USA in the Paris Olympics, helping them to victory. Wilson expressed gratitude for the recognition, acknowledging the hard work and preparation she put in for the season. She is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and WNBA champion, while Clark is a two-time collegiate national player of the year and all-time leading scorer. Both players have achieved remarkable success in their careers and continue to make a significant impact on women’s basketball.
