Caitlin Clark is no stranger to setting WNBA records, as well as outside of the league. The Indiana Fever star made a first-ever move on Wednesday, which was announced on social media.

She is coming off another strong season. Clark led Indiana to a 28-16 regular-season record and qualified for the playoffs as the No. 6 seed. The team faced the Las Vegas Aces in the first round, pushing the series to a winner-take-all Game 3 on Oct. 1. However, the Fever came up short as they lost 94-83 at Michelob ULTRA Arena.

Clark averaged 22.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.2 steals. She became the first player to finish in the top three in points and assists per game, as well as the 800/300 club. The 24-year-old earned her third straight All-Star nod and was named to the All-WNBA first-team, among other achievements.

The former Iowa Hawkeyes star is one of the most popular and marketable players in the WNBA today. Clark also continues to expand her portfolio after signing with other major brands like Nike, State Farm, Gatorade and Capital One. She reportedly has at least 19 active endorsement deals.

Clark plans to put in a lot of work in the gym this offseason to further improve different facets of her game. She will also remain in constant communication with Fever general manager Amber Cox to discuss roster construction.
