Caitlin Clark keep making history
The Indiana Fever guard has signed a multi-year deal with Wilson to launch a line of basketballs, making her the first female athlete to sign such a deal, according to a May 21 press release. That's not all: No player in NBA or WNBA history has received such a deal since Michael Jordan he signed one with Wilson in 1984 during his rookie season. And obviously, Caitlin is excited.
“Wilson has been with me through some of the biggest moments of my career so far,” he said in a statement, “and I couldn't be more excited to continue to push basketball alongside him.”
He added, “It feels surreal to have my own basketball collection and affect what that means for future generations of athletes.”
With her new deal, Caitlin will partner with Wilson to release three limited edition basketball designs to commemorate her first season, each inspired by Caitlin's incredible athletic journey. The gold and white basketballs will be available for purchase starting May 28, though fans must enter a contest to be able to purchase them.
