Within just a few hours of Caitlin Clark joining the WNBA, her Indiana Fever jersey sold out on Fanatics.
As of this report, only size small remains available, with sizes XS, M, L, XL, and XXL all sold out. The jerseys, priced at $99.99 each, were listed on the website shortly after Clark was drafted on Monday night.
The former Iowa standout’s appeal was evident during the draft night, which for the first time, sold tickets to fans and sold out. The Indiana Fever has seen a surge in ticket sales in anticipation of her arrival, and her jersey is poised to be the season’s top seller in the WNBA.
Clark, selected first overall, also secured a guaranteed contract, starting with a rookie salary of $76,535 for her first year out of a four-year deal totaling $338,056, according to Spotrac. Her salary will increase in the subsequent years.

Clark’s emotions were palpable when her name was called. “I got a little anxious there before the pick, but I think more than anything, just grateful and lucky to have my family here, my friends over there, coaches up here, so I think just enjoying the moment,” she shared with ESPN’s Holly Rowe, as reported by On3’s Nick Kosko. Clark has always dreamed of this moment since she was in second grade, acknowledging the hard work and challenges along the way.
In her senior year, Clark had an outstanding season, setting new personal records with an average of 31.6 points and 8.9 assists per game, leading Iowa back to the national championship. She surpassed Kelsey Plum to claim the NCAA women’s scoring record, then Lynette Woodard for the all-time women’s college basketball record, and finally Pete Maravich to become the top scorer in Division I history.
She is also among the six women’s college basketball players who have recorded over 1,000 career assists.
Clark is set to be closely watched in the WNBA next season. Her professional journey continues on May 14 when the Fever start their season on the road against the Connecticut Sun.
