Caitlin Clark Wilson deal, explained

Clark's multiyear endorsement deal with Wilson is the brand's latest pledge to the growth of the women's game.

Wilson is one of the most prominent brands in the sport as it provides official game basketballs for the NBA, WNBA and NCAA's March Madness, among other leagues. Clark's role will see her test, advise and provide feedback on a range of Wilson's basketball products.

The first launch of the partnership features basketballs with white and gold panels and laser engravings of Clark during her time at the University of Iowa. 

"It feels surreal to have my own basketball collection and to affect what that means for future generations of athletes," Clark said of the partnership.

In addition to basketball products, Wilson will support Clark's eponymous foundation and its mission to uplift and improve the lives of youth and their communities through education, nutrition and sport.
