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.

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 enters her second year with the Indiana Fever as expectations for success have only heightened ahead of the WNBA season.
