    The broad impact of Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark continues to be felt with yet another career achievement.

    On Sept. 9, Wilson announced the release of two exclusive Clark-inspired basketballs. One features a colorway of purple, pink and yellow, while the other features the colors of Clark's college squad, the Iowa Hawkeyes.

    Iowa assistant coach Raina Harmon, who helped mentor Clark in her four years with the Hawkeyes, proudly shared the Fever rookie's latest milestone on her Instagram Story and gave a heartfelt message.

    "Continue to dream kid, you're just getting started!" wrote Harmon.

    The 22-year-old Clark appreciated her former coach's kind words and reposted it on her Instagram Story. She added three heart emojis.
