Caitlin Clark felt the time was right to announce she is headed to the WNBA Draft. The Iowa superstar announced on Thursday she will not use her COVID year and return next season. Senior Day is Sunday when the sixth ranked Hawkeyes host Big Ten regular season champ and second ranked Ohio State.

Clark says her decision was solidified over the past couple of weeks.

Clark says announcing the decision prior to Senior Day was the right move.

With the decision out of the way Clark says she can now focus on her immediate goal of winning a national title.

Clark is expected to be taken by the Indiana Fever with the first pick in next month’s WNBA Draft.
