The No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft will also test, advise and provide feedback on a range of Wilson basketball products.

“Wilson has been with me across some of the most pivotal moments in my career so far, and I couldn’t be more excited to continue driving basketball forward alongside them,” said Clark, who set the NCAA Division I all-time scoring record. “It feels surreal to have my own basketball collection, and to affect what that means for future generations of athletes.”

Wilson will release collections that celebrate Clark throughout the rest of 2024, as well as work with her to creatively direct her first-ever signature basketball line that will debut later this year.

We couldn’t be prouder to join forces with her to continue innovating basketball both on and off the court.”

It’s the latest endorsement deal for Clark, who also has partnered with Nike and Gatorade.

Wilson is the official basketball of the WNBA.
