After multiple reports stated that Caitlin Clark was nearing an eight-figure agreement with Nike, the numbers are finally out. Clark is set to land an eight-year deal worth up to $28 million, per NBA Central and The Wall Street Journal. The Indiana Fever rookie’s history with the sportswear giant dates back to her decorated days with Iowa women’s basketball.

Back in 2022, Clark agreed to an NIL deal with Nike while playing for the Hawkeyes. It would be one of her many NIL agreements — others of which were with Gatorade and State Farm. When Clark broke the NCAA women’s all-time scoring record in February, Nike showed support for their superstar by putting out a tribute with a quote that read, “You break it, you own it.”

While Clark was expected to sign with Nike in the aftermath of her draft selection, it didn’t come with obstacles on the company’s part. Many other well-known brands were also interested in this year’s number-one overall pick. Among those who wanted to sign the 6-foot guard were Adidas and Under Armour. The sweepstakes would eventually end with Nike on top, as seen in how Clark is guaranteed $3.5 million a year despite not playing her first WNBA game yet.
