"MJ of this generation": WNBA fans hail No. 1 pick Caitlin Clark as Indiana Fever jersey reportedly sells out in an hour

The Indiana Fever drafted Caitlin Clark with the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. The Fever were expected to draft Clark, who was the best and most influential women's college basketball player this season. She's so popular that her Fever jersey reportedly sold out in an hour.

According to Darren Rovell of The Action Network, Clark's jersey was sold out in an hour on Fanatics. Every size from XS to XXL was gone immediately, showing how popular the Iowa Hawkeyes sharpshooter is already. WNBA fans should not worry since the jerseys are now available for pre-order.

It's an unprecedented accomplishment for Clark, who was touted by analysts as the savior of the WNBA. She's expected to help the league increase its popularity in the country and possibly help players earn more money in the future.

Basketball fans were shocked to learn that Caitlin Clark's jersey was already sold out in a such a short period of time. They began comparing Clark to great players due to the hype surrounding her. She has not played one WNBA game, but her impact has already been felt around the league.
