The WNBA player who left the league played just 10 games in the 2024 season
WNBA rookie star Caitlin Clark has sent a message to fans after her first season in the league came to an end last week.
The Indiana Fever guard’s words come after a star left the WNBA following remarks on the Iowa Hawkeyes’ product and the league commissioner.

The 22-year-old Clark saw her first campaign come to an end after the Fever lost to the Connecticut Sun in the playoffs.
A week after the postseason exit, Clark posted a message on Instagram to thank her fanbase.
“Year one,” the NCAA all-time leading scorer wrote along with a green tick emoji.
“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.”
Clark’s social media post comes after Seattle Storm forward Gabby Williams chose to play overseas in Europe.
Williams was only under contract through this year as her former team Storm was eliminated by the Las Vegas Aces in the first round of the WNBA playoffs.
Last month, she made headlines after refuting a statement made by WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
The head of the league claimed that players can make up to $700,000 per year.
Williams took issue with Engelbert’s stance.
“That’s actually not true at all. There’s not one player who makes that.
“We were promised team marketing agreements and league marketing agreements, but they’ve fallen quite short.
“So it’s still not enough for us international players to want to stay here. And that’s a choice of the players.

“If I make a choice to make more money, whatever, and then teams are mad that I don’t come back, but that’s how it is.”
Williams even responded to a Caitlin Clark fan, who claimed that the rookie phenom has earned more than $700,000 in her first season.
“Clark makes $70,000 in the WNBA,” she said in response to the claim on TikTok. “So I know all these Caitlin Clark fans, whatever, like ‘Caitlin Clark makes $700,000,’ That’s off of endorsements.”
Williams has played internationally in the past, enjoying stints in Italy, Hungary, and France.
During this year’s WNBA season, she played in just 10 games.
The 2018 first-round pick could again return to play in the professional league in the second half of the 2025 campaign.
