This will be Clark's first game in Iowa City since she graduated last year, and is part of the growing trend of WNBA teams returning to their star players' college campuses for preseason games. Clark, of course, set countless records during her time in school and led the Hawkeyes to back-to-back national championship games.

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are coming to Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday to take on the Brazilian National Team in a highly anticipated WNBA preseason game. Why it matters: The excitement behind her homecoming marks the return of the "Caitlin Clark effect" to Iowa City and another sold-out preseason game for the Indiana Fever.

Clark also made waves right away in the WNBA. After being selected as the top pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, she went on to average 19.2 points per game as a rookie. The Fever reached the WNBA postseason but were knocked out in two games by the Connecticut Sun.
