Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever will play the Brazilian National Team during the WNBA preseason at the University of Iowa.
The Fever announced the game on Thursday. It will take place on May 4 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, where Clark made a name for herself in college before being selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft last spring. This will give her a chance to play professionally with her team at the same arena where she starred in college.
Indiana, which will begin the Fever’s 25th season on May 17 against Chicago, also has Damiris Dantas on the roster. Dantas played for Brazil in the Olympics in 2012 in London and 2016 in Rio.
Iowa will retire Clark’s No. 22 jersey on Sunday. Clark ended her college career last season as the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I history, for both men and women, and is seen as a major influence on women’s basketball.
Her exciting playing style and long-range 3-point shots earned her a large fan following, with many wearing her No. 22 jersey at games.
After college, she joined fellow All-Stars Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston for her WNBA debut, helping the Fever make the playoffs for the 14th time in the team’s history.
