The numbers around Caitlin Clark continue to show just how massive her impact has become, and the latest jersey sales update puts the Indiana Fever superstar in territory usually reserved for the biggest global names in sports. According to new merchandise data reported by Fanatics and NBAStore.com, Clark has the second-most jersey sales among all basketball players in the United States since 2024. The only player ahead of her is Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors.
Caitlin Clark is already ahead of LeBron James and Luka Dončić
What makes the update even more eye-opening is the list of players Clark has already passed. The Fever guard reportedly sits ahead of LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyama in jersey sales during that stretch.
That is not just impressive for a WNBA player. It is almost unheard of in the modern basketball landscape.
Clark’s popularity has translated into nearly every measurable category since she arrived in the league in 2024. Attendance records continue to fall whenever Indiana visits opposing arenas, television ratings routinely spike for Fever games and merchandise sales have stayed at historic levels well beyond the initial excitement of her rookie season.
