Caitlin Clark has another big endorsement deal on the way.
The 2024 No. 1 WNBA draft pick and NCAA Division I basketball's all-time leading scorer has signed a multiyear partnership with Wilson that will include a signature basketball collection, the company announced Tuesday.
According to Boardroom, the only other athlete who has developed a signature collection with Wilson is Michael Jordan.
The company has already dropped three white-and-gold Clark-branded Wilson basketballs -- titled Threes Up, Record Breaker and Crowd Maestro -- that feature laser engravings with some of the guard's signature moments from her time at Iowa.

"I feel like I was just that young kid who had those basketballs that I would store in the garage. I'm just very lucky and fortunate to partner with Wilson to create something that everyone can enjoy. It connects with a lot of generations, and it'll be fun to see kids walking around holding them."
As an ambassador, Clark will also test and advise Wilson -- the official game ball of the WNBA -- on its basketball gear.
Since Clark burst onto the national scene as a superstar in the college ranks, she has garnered deals with Nike, Gatorade, State Farm and more.
Clark and the Indiana Fever are 0-4 to start the WNBA season and have a chance to pick up their first win of the year Wednesday at Seattle.
