Caitlin Clark may not be off to the most ideal start in the WNBA after her Indiana Fever dropped to 0-4 on Monday night, but Clark’s aura and reach continues to grow despite the losses.
On Tuesday morning, an official announcement emerged that Clark has entered a multi-year partnership deal with Wilson, a legendary sporting goods company that has left its fingerprints on basketball, football, baseball and many other sports. Wilson also supplies the official ball for the WNBA.

Thank you for watching
Clark’s deal will have her serve as an ambassador for the company, with a signature basketball collection of hers coming soon. Three distinct basketballs are in the collection, and fans can enter the draw to purchase them up until the night of May 27.
Her deal with Wilson will also include getting her feedback on specific basketball gear, which she will test and give her opinion on. It’s a unique partnership, especially when you consider the only other athlete to collaborate with Wilson was the legendary Michael Jordan during the 1980s.
It’s just another piece of evidence to be used when Clark’s legacy will one day be reminisced upon. She’s only 22 years old and there’s still so much more left to do.
