Clark, who’s coming off a historic college tenure with the Iowa Hawkeyes, has become one of the highest-paid women in professional sports.
She was selected by the Indiana Fever as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft and recently inked a $28 million deal with Nike as well as other endorsement contracts.
On Tuesday, Clark and Wilson Sporting Goods agreed to a multiyear endorsement contract.
The company revealed that the 22-year-old will have her signature basketball collection.
It was announced by the Boardroom that Clark and the Chicago Bulls icon Jordan have the only two signature basketball deals in history.
“I think it is super special, and it’s been fun for me,” Clark said, via the Boardroom’s Vinciane Ngomsi.
“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.”

She’ll be able to test and advise Wilson’s products.
