Caitlin Clark isn't just taking over the WNBA—she's crashing the NBA's popularity party, and she's bringing Stephen Curry into the conversation. The Indiana Fever superstar has officially recorded the second-most jersey sales among all basketball players in the United States since 2024, trailing only the Golden State Warriors' legendary sharpshooter, according to new data from Fanatics and NBAStore.com.

What makes this milestone truly jaw-dropping is the company Clark has left in her rearview mirror. The Fever guard has surpassed LeBron James, Luka Dončić, and Victor Wembanyama in jersey sales during that period. For a WNBA player to rank ahead of a four-time NBA champion and global icon like LeBron, not to mention two of the most marketable young stars in the league, is almost unprecedented in modern basketball.

Clark's meteoric rise has translated into every corner of the sport. Since entering the league in 2024, she has shattered attendance records at opposing arenas, driven television ratings to new heights for Fever games, and kept merchandise sales at historic levels long after her rookie-season buzz could have faded. This isn't just a flash in the pan—it's a sustained cultural shift.

The early returns from the 2026 season suggest Clark's momentum is only accelerating. She opened the year with a solid 20 points, five rebounds, and seven assists against the Dallas Wings, then followed up with 24 points and nine assists in a win over the Los Angeles Sparks. More importantly for Indiana, she looks fully healthy after injuries derailed significant chunks of her 2025 campaign, and that has the Fever humming.

The Fever are already reaping the benefits. Their season opener against rookie standout Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings drew 2.49 million viewers on ABC, making it one of the most-watched regular-season WNBA broadcasts ever. The only game to top it on ABC or ESPN? Another Clark game from 2025. At this rate, chasing Curry in the popularity race might just be the beginning.
