A pivotal moment for the league came when superstar Caitlyn Clark entered the WNBA spotlight. The league seemed poised for mainstream acceptance, with Clark perceived as a generational talent capable of elevating women's basketball.

If Clark's star power continues to wane, the league might struggle to attract the same level of engagement and investment, raising questions about its future stability.
