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.

After a rookie season that saw her popularity help the WNBA rack up a record of more than 54 million unique viewers, Caitlin Clark is back for her second season. She and the Indiana Fever are set to make their highly anticipated preseason debut on Saturday against the Washington Mystics at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Training camps for all WNBA teams opened last week, and soon preseason games will get underway. One of the most anticipated preseason tilts, not only this season, but in the history of the league, will take place Sunday when Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever return to Iowa for a matchup with the Brazilian national team.
