Caitlin Clark is back — and she’s still breaking the laws of basketball physics.

In her highly anticipated return to Iowa City, the former Iowa Hawkeyes superstar turned WNBA No. 1 draft pick delivered a goosebump-inducing moment during the Indiana Fever’s exhibition game against the Brazil Women’s National Team. Midway through the second quarter, Clark pulled up from way beyond the arc — deep from the logo — and drained a three-pointer that sent the Carver-Hawkeye Arena crowd into a frenzy.

The Shot Heard Around Iowa

The arena, packed with over 15,000 roaring fans, exploded as the shot hit nothing but net. It wasn’t just the distance — it was the confidence, swagger, and familiarity of it all. The same court where Clark became a college legend saw her shine again in a pro uniform, as if she never left.

“I had to take one for old time’s sake,” Clark said postgame with a smile. “This place will always be home.”

The three was more than just a highlight — it was a statement. A reminder that Caitlin Clark’s range, vision, and flare are WNBA-ready and beyond.

 Dominant Performance in Front of a Home Crowd

Clark’s return was nothing short of cinematic. She finished the night with:

23 points

9 assists

4 rebounds

4 made three-pointers, including two from deep downtown

She orchestrated the Fever’s offense with elite pace, precision, and poise — proving once again why she’s one of the most anticipated rookies in WNBA history.

Fever Outclass Brazil in Preseason Showcase

While Clark grabbed headlines, the Indiana Fever as a team looked locked in. Aliyah Boston dominated the post with 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Kelsey Mitchell added 16 points with sharp shooting and strong perimeter defense.

The Fever pulled away in the third quarter, suffocating Brazil with their defense and transition game. The final score: Indiana Fever 94 – Brazil National Team 67.

Brazil showed flashes of brilliance, led by Damiris Dantas and Tainá Paixão, but couldn’t match Indiana’s depth and energy.

 A Full-Circle Moment

For Clark, the night was more than just basketball. It was a homecoming, a celebration, and a glimpse of what’s to come.

“To play my first pro game back in Iowa City, in front of fans who’ve supported me since day one — it means everything,” she said, visibly emotional.
“But we’re just getting started.”

 Social Media Reaction: Viral in Seconds

It didn’t take long for the logo three to go viral. Within minutes, clips were everywhere:

WNBA legends chimed in with praise: “That’s a shot only a few can hit — and she makes it look easy,” tweeted Sue Bird.

Caitlin Clark’s return to Iowa wasn’t just a trip down memory lane — it was a warning to the league. She’s here, she’s fearless, and she’s ready to take over.
