Caitlin Clark has officially added another piece of hardware to her 2026 comeback season.
The Indiana Fever superstar has been named the 2026 Associated Press WNBA Comeback Player of the Year, capping a season that saw Clark return to the court and immediately reestablish herself among the league’s top players.
After injuries limited Clark to just 13 games in the 2025 , she came back in 2026 and put together a campaign that reminded fans why she has been one of the biggest names in women’s basketball.
Clark finished the regular season averaging 22.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game, while shooting 45.6% from the field. Her 8.4 assists ranked second in the WNBA, while her scoring average ranked third.
She also helped lead the Fever into the 2026 WNBA Playoffs, giving Clark another opportunity to add to her comeback story.
