A’ja Wilson is named the WNBA MVP, winning a decisive vote for the award for the third straight season. Across the ballots, Caitlin Clark—who finished the season with historic scoring and playmaking numbers—receives limited support from MVP voters, including only a single first-place vote, and she finishes fourth in the overall voting.
Multiple outlets report that Wilson’s final vote total reflects broad consensus among voters, while Clark’s placement on ballots is fragmented. One outlet quotes an MVP voter explaining that Clark’s turnovers influenced the decision, despite her standout season. Another outlet highlights that a large number of voters leave Clark off entirely, including reporting that 19 ballots do not include her.
Overall coverage centers on the contrast between Clark’s season performance and the distribution of MVP ballot support, alongside Wilson’s consistent high placement on ballots leading to the award.
