CNN —The Indiana Fever’s winless start to the season continued on Monday with a narrow 88-84 loss to the Connecticut Sun, but it was an ankle injury suffered by No. 1 overall pick Caitlin Clark that will likely have left the team most concerned. “I turned it pretty good,” Clark told reporters after the game. “I think it just got caught, I don’t think I stepped on anybody. Clark returned to the game and finished with 17 points.

New York CNN —Breakout basketball star Caitlin Clark has a new achievement that hasn’t been accomplished since Michael Jordan. The WNBA player signed a multiyear deal with Wilson Sporting Goods Co., the league’s official basketball supplier, for “signature basketball collections celebrating Clark’s continued legacy,” the company announced Tuesday. In addition, she will “creatively direct her first-ever signature basketball line” that will roll out later this year. Wilson, which has produced the basketballs for the NBA for several decades, became the official game ball of the WNBA in 2020. Nike is also reportedly on the verge of signing Clark to design her shoe line, but no official deal has been formally announced.

CNN —Caitlin Clark had the best individual game of her fledgling WNBA career to date, registering 22 points, six rebounds and eight assists, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Indiana Fever from losing a third straight game. The Fever lost 91-80 to the New York Liberty on Saturday to begin the season 0-3, though the performance was a marked improvement on the 36-point drubbing suffered against the same opponent two days earlier. Clark’s 22 points came on an efficient 52.9% shooting, including 4-of-10 from three-point range, but the recent No. “I thought I came out and just played harder [than two nights ago], and I think that’s going to be just my biggest focus going forward,” Clark said, per ESPN. Next up for the Fever is Monday’s match against the Conneticut Sun – a repeat of the Fever’s season opener – as Clark goes in search of her first WNBA win, while the Liberty will face the Seattle Storm.

And the start of the 2024 W.N.B.A. season has many wondering if the sport is entering a new economic era. The arrival of stars like Caitlin Clark, the former University of Iowa phenom who is now a rookie with the Indiana Fever, has boosted interest and ticket sales. But there are still obstacles the league needs to overcome before attaining the kind of stature that other professional sports leagues have. The league has long had stars, but it has struggled to market their skills and personalities to a mass audience.

It was the upstart athletic brand that was making real inroads against Nike, the dominant name in the industry. People saw it as a company that actually could break through and take market share from Nike among the hardcore athletes,” Swartz said. String of controversiesThe period from 2016 onward is when “things really started to fall apart” at Under Armour, Swartz said. A bulk of Under Armour products are sold through sporting goods retailers and department stores, including Macy’s and Kohl’s, and online.
