Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is unequivocally one of the biggest names in all of sports.
Her run at Iowa led to historic viewership numbers during the NCAA Tournament, and her level of fame frequently forces WNBA teams to move to bigger arenas to hold more fans when the Fever come to town.

With the WNBA season just weeks away, fans are already chomping at the bit to see last year’s WNBA Rookie of the Year take the floor again. While they won’t be seeing Clark take the floor until at least May 3 in the team’s preseason game against the Washington Mystics, they did get a behind-the-scenes look at a shoot she did with Gatorade.
The 23-year-old Clark has had a long-standing relationship with the hydration giant, as she actually signed an NIL deal with them back in Dec. of 2023. At the time, she became just the fourth college athlete, and the second women’s basketball player to do so.
“I am fortunate to be part of the first generation of collegiate athletes who are not only able to contribute to the legacy of our colleges and universities, but also start to build something of our own off the court,” Clark told ESPN in 2023. “Working with a brand like Gatorade is really a dream come true, but NIL is about more than just endorsements and partnerships. Athletes are learning about entire industries, how they work, and how we might be able to pursue other passions while we are playing and after our playing careers are over.”

During her time with Gatorade, she has starred in a campaign centered around the slogan “You Can Too,” while also having a limited edition capsule inspired by her number and shooting prowess.

In addition to Gatorade, Clark has inked brand deals with Nike, State Farm, and Panini. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Clark is estimated to be valued at around $5 million, a mark that will only continue to grow as her career moves along.
Clark and the Fever open the regular season on May 17 against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.
