Who is the WNBA MVP in 2024?

This is the third time A'ja has won the WNBA MVP Award (she also won it in 2020 and 2022). She is the fourth WNBA player to win three MVP awards, joining WNBA greats Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie and Lauren Jackson in receiving the honor.

A'ja was Also named MVP of the AP. “This means a lot to me,” A'ja told the AP“The preparation you have done, the approach I have taken for this season.”

Did Caitlin Clark win Rookie of the Year?

“It is a tremendous honor to be named Associated Press Rookie of the Year,” Caitlin told the AP“This recognition would not be possible without an incredible group of teammates and coaches, and we look forward to continuing an exciting regular season into the postseason.”

Caitlin's boyfriend Connor McCaffery reacted to the news in hilarious fashion, sharing the Indiana Fever's award announcement on his Instagram story with the caption “Duh” above it.

Who won the rest of the WNBA awards?
