From an early age, Caitlin Clark usually had a basketball in her hands. So her latest endorsement deal − with sporting goods manufacturer Wilson − seems like a natural fit.
Clark, the No. 1 overall draft pick by the Indiana Fever, has announced a multiyear sponsorship agreement with the manufacturer of the WNBA's official basketball − becoming the only athlete besides Michael Jordan in the 1980s to be a brand ambassador for Wilson.
In a news release announcing the partnership, Clark recalled playing with a Wilson ball in her driveway growing up.
"I loved that thing more than anything. My brothers and I would always fight over it," she said.
The initial rollout of Clark-themed basketballs will commemorate some of her historic accomplishments, such as breaking the all-time NCAA scoring record.
"I’m just super excited to have a collaboration and create basketballs together that are really cool," Clark said.
In addition, her role as a Wilson ambassador will include testing, advising and providing feedback on a range of basketball gear.
Wilson resumed its role as the official basketball of the WNBA in 2021.
