Caitlin Clark has successfully broken several boundaries in women’s basketball games and garnered praise from legendary figures in the process. From being the NCAA top scorer to receiving a record-breaking offer, Clark achieved more than anyone anticipated during her Iowa days and then decided to jump into the big league, the WNBA.
The point guard entered the league by signing a contract with the WNBA giants, Indiana Fever, as their first pick. The hoop enthusiasts knew that her entry into the league would be a blast, but what came as a surprise was her jersey sale on draft night. As her jersey was unveiled by the Indiana franchise, basketball fans quickly got their hands on the glamorous new uniform of the 22-year-old basketball sensation.
According to NBA Central’s X (formerly known as Twitter) post, within an hour, all her jerseys, consisting of various sizes, starting from extra small to extra extra-large, were completely sold out. This shows the impact Caitlin has on women’s basketball and the fans, which could take her to the broader spectrum of the sport, all eventually to further her accomplishments.
By acquiring the former Iowa star, the Indiana franchise has already gotten a taste of what their future with the budding star would be like in the seasons to come. While her rookie contract looks pale in contrast to her massive attraction, it is a start nonetheless.

Speculations were going on for a while about Caitlin Clark joining the Indiana Fever after she declared for the 2024 WNBA draft. Considering the supremely talented athlete that the NCAA GOAT is, Fever’s interest in her was obvious, but it was made official on Monday.

In the 2026-2027 season, Caitlin will get $85,873, while in her final season, she will get $97,582. Following the NCAA’s record-breaking viewership because of Clark’s presence, ESPN will reportedly broadcast 36 out of 40 games that the Fever will play in the regular season.
With the scoring machine Clark on the team, the women-led Indiana team can hope to get their hands on the second WNBA championship trophy.
