Caitlin Clark (born January 22, 2002) is an American professional basketball player for the Indiana Fever of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She played college basketball for the Iowa Hawkeyes and is regarded as one of the greatest collegiate players of all time. Clark is the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer and was a two-time national player of the year with the Hawkeyes. She was selected first overall by the Fever in the 2024 WNBA draft.
Clark attended Dowling Catholic High School in her hometown of West Des Moines, Iowa, where she was named a McDonald's All-American and rated the fourth-best player in her class by ESPN. In her freshman season with Iowa, she led the NCAA Division I in scoring and earned All-American honors. As a sophomore, Clark was a unanimous first-team All-American and became the first women's player to lead Division I in points and assists in a single season. In her junior season, she was the national player of the year and led Iowa to its first national championship game. Clark again led Division I in assists and set Big Ten single-season marks in points and assists. As a senior, she repeated as national player of the year and helped Iowa return to the national title game. Clark became the Division I career and single-season leader in points and three-pointers and broke the all-time conference record in assists, while leading the nation in both points and assists.
At the youth international level, Clark has won three gold medals with the United States, including two at the FIBA Under-19 Women's World Cup, where she was named Most Valuable Player in 2021. During her college career, she helped popularize women's basketball, with her games surpassing attendance and television viewership records for the sport.
Caitlin Clark pulled up to the Lakers vs. Pacers game as a team photographer and straight up cooked 📸🔥 Caitlin was rockin’ Travis Scott’s “Sail” Jordan Jumpman Jack while sitting on a custom photo chair featuring her Nike signature logo 👀
@caitlinclark22 gives us a little insight on the design and technology of her first upcoming signature sneaker with Nike 👀 Her signature sneaker is expected to drop in 2026.
Caitlin Clark’s season was cut short, but her star power wasn’t. The 2x All-Star pulled in an estimated $16.1 million this year — 99.3% from endorsements. Her portfolio isn’t slowing down either. Ascension St. Vincent and Stanley joined a roster that already includes Gatorade, State Farm, Wilson, Panini, Hy-Vee, Xfinity, Gainbridge, and Lilly. Nike also crowned her its newest signature athlete with a logo, apparel line, and sneaker arriving in 2026. It’s a sharp look at the current WNBA landscape: Clark earns just over $100,000 on the floor, yet her off-court pull is helping push the league toward record engagement and a CBA built to raise player pay.
Under Armour failing to sign Caitlin Clark to a sneaker deal last year was a “sore point” for Curry, per @sportsbusinessjournal Curry and his advisers “became frustrated by what they viewed as underinvestment” in Under Armour
Caitlin Clark announced that she will not be returning this WNBA season. "I had hoped to share a better update, but I will not be returning to play this season. I spent hours in the gym every day with the singular goal of getting back out there, disappointed isn’t a big enough word to describe how I am feeling. I want to thank everyone who had my back through all the uncertainty. This has been incredibly frustrating, but even in the bad, there is good. The way the fans continued to show up for me, and for the Fever, brought me so much joy and important perspective. I am so proud of how this team has only gotten stronger through adversity this year. Now it’s time to close out the season and claim our spot in the Playoffs🖤"
