Even with that growth, WNBA legend Candace Parker says Clark isn’t quite at the top just yet. Parker recently appeared on Complex Sports to rank current WNBA players using a tier system. When it came time to name her “S-tier” players, the league’s absolute best, she chose three standouts without hesitation.

Liberty All-Star guard Sabrina Ionescu confirmed speculation that she would be returning to the WNBA 3-point Contest in 2025. Ionescu returns to the contest after putting forth a historic showing to win the event in 2023, scoring 37 of a possible 40 points, the record for a WNBA or NBA 3-point contest.

Sabreena Merchant and Ben Pickman of The Athletic shared the results of an anonymous WNBA player's poll Monday, and the Phoenix Mercury star was named the biggest trash talker in the league.

It's hard to argue with the three players Parker placed ahead of Clark given their numbers. Wilson is a two-time WNBA champion and three-time MVP. Collier, a five-time All-Star, is averaging a league-best 23.9 points per game this season, and Stewart is one of the most decorated forwards in league history since being drafted first overall in 2016.

USA TODAY sports columnist Christine Brennan chronicles the explosive growth of Caitlin Clark's popularity in her new book "On Her Game."

Having established herself as the most popular WNBA player as soon as she was drafted into the league in 2024, Caitlin Clark's peers overwhelmingly believe she will be the face of the league going forward.

With the 2025 WNBA All-Star game taking place this Saturday, teams are looking to make a strong final push before the midway point of the season. A huge matchup to watch will be between the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night. Tensions flared the last time these two teams met.
