Iowa star Caitlin Clark isn't committing to WNBA draft, Indiana Fever just yet

Caitlin Clark is widely expected to go first overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft to the Indiana Fever if she declares, but the all-time leading scorer in NCAA women's Division I basketball isn't ready to commit to anything just yet.

After the Hawkeyes were upset by Indiana on Thursday, Clark was asked about her basketball future.

"I'm just focused on this team right now, playing my heart out for Iowa and getting to represent this state every day," she said. "That's what it's all about, and I'm not really worried about the future. It is what it is, and it comes when it comes."

Fever coaching staff and front office personnel have watched a number of Iowa games in person this season, but similarly to how they handled Aliyah Boston and the No. 1 pick last year, Fever GM Lin Dunn said after the draft lottery they will encourage Clark to make the best decision for her career, whether it be stay in college or go pro.
