"Caitlin Clark's WNBA Draft Eligibility and Pro Timeline"

Caitlin Clark, the Iowa Hawkeyes basketball star, will not be eligible for the 2023 WNBA draft as she will only turn 22 next year. Clark has an extra year of college eligibility due to the COVID-19-impacted 2020-21 season, so she may choose to return to the Hawkeyes for a fifth season. The three ways for domestic players to be eligible for the WNBA draft are to turn at least 22 years old during the year when the draft takes place, have graduated or be set to graduate from a four-year university within three months of the draft, or have attended a four-year university and had her original class graduate or be set to graduate within three months of the draft.
