The Carver-Hawkeye Arena’s closed-stop crowd was able to see Caitlin Clark again in action, but this time she was wearing a Indiana fever jersey instead of her black and yellow sons of Iowa.
The second pre-season WNBA pre-season match was special, while the Brazilian national team went to Iowa City to face the Indiana in an exhibition match.
During the rout 108-44 of the fever, the head coach of Brazil, Leo Figueiro, shared a good time with Clark during the second quarter when he went between the whistles.

Clark was a micro for the game, so this moment was shared for the world to hear.
“You are an incredible player, congratulations,” Figueiro told Clark, who went to him to see how he was. “You have changed the story in basketball.”

Clark gave a very professional response.
“I appreciate it,” she said. “Thank you for coming here and for playing us.”
Clark changed the conversation of her to the Brazil team.
“Most of the people you played in front of?” Asked Clark, which Figueiro replied: “Yeah.”

It could have been an eruption, but the Brazil team was not crazy after the match. You could say that they appreciated the crowd and interact with the players, while presenting their own skills. Clark and others took photos and spoke with the players after the match.
After the match, Clark was questioned about the crowd that spilled in the arena to see her play in her old playground.
“I certainly give fans something to encourage. This is my goal,” said Clark by Hawkcentral. “Bring them. Bring them noisy. Because, I said to my teammates, it will be the noisiest arena in which you have ever played. So I have to make a few shots and be able to set them up.”
Clark looked at just as she did for the Hawkeyes, stopping at the logo for a deep three -point, which made the crowd roar. She finished with 14 points in just over 18 minutes of play, her first in the 2025 season, when she sat against the mystics of Washington in the first pre-season game.

The recruit of the year 2024 is ready to take the next stage of the second year in the WNBA, but this match against the Brazil team is another reminder of how Clark plays a huge role in the change in the game of basketball and female sports as a whole.
