Indiana Fever star rookie Caitlin Clark has secured a deal that puts her in league with Michael Jordan.
The former Iowa Hawkeyes point guard has partnered with basketball manufacturer Wilson to release the signature “Caitlin Clark Limitless Series” of balls, marking the first collection resulting from the deal.
Clark signed a multi-year contract with Wilson in May, joining MJ as the only signature athlete to ever sign a deal with the company.
“Made for Defying Limits,” Wilson announced via Instagram on Friday. “The first collection from Caitlin Clark and Wilson Basketball arrives 7/9.”

“changed the wnba forever,” a user wrote.
“Can’t wait for this one!!!!” said another.
“I have an excited girl! This will be just in time to get for her birthday,” a third disclosed.
Caitlin Clark Is Having An Impressive Rookie Season On a personal Front
Clark is leading all WNBA rookies in points and assists this season, averaging 16.0 points and 7.1 assists. She was selected as an All-Star this week, joining Angel Reese as the only other first-year player to make the roster.
Clark, who entered the league as the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer after four seasons with Iowa, has attracted millions of eyes to WNBA basketball and is being paid very well for it, though not through her deal with the Fever.
The 22-year-old landed the most lucrative deal ever signed by a female basketball player before the start of the season, with Nike handing her a $28 million contract.
She’s likely to garner several more endorsements throughout the early stages of her career in the pros.
The Caitlin Clark-themed Wilson basketball will launch on July 9.
