Over the weekend, the University of Iowa celebrated its 2024 graduation ceremonies, but Caitlin Clark, one of the university’s most illustrious athletes, was notably absent.
Clark, a basketball standout who recently propelled the Hawkeyes to the NCAA title game, was preparing for her upcoming WNBA debut and could not return to Iowa City to participate in the graduation.
In a heartwarming gesture, her teammates on the Indiana Fever, where Clark was the No. 1 pick in the recent WNBA draft, organized a special graduation ceremony to honor her achievement.

Clark is set to begin her professional career this Tuesday night in a game against the Connecticut Sun, which will be broadcast at 8 p.m. on ESPN. Her debut is highly anticipated, marking the start of what many hope will be a significant career in the WNBA.
