A report suggested that the new Unrivaled basketball league might try and bring Caitlin Clark back to her beloved home state.

Despite that report, Clark made it seem like she didn’t know what her offseason basketball plans would be when she stated during that night’s postgame press conference, “I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow, I don’t know what I’m going to do the next day. Maybe play some golf.”
Perhaps Unrivaled took this response as their opportunity, as it was reported by Front Office Sports on Thursday that the league will be putting on a “full-court press” to recruit Clark to Unrivaled this offseason, which starts playing games three months from today.
“If we’re lucky enough to get Caitlin Clark, are we going to travel to Iowa?” Levy added to McCarthy.

Unrivaled potentially adding games at Clark’s home state and alma mater to their schedule would be a fascinating negotiation tactic to try and convince Clark to join their league. It would make for an obvious sellout, given how much of a superstar Clark is in Iowa.
While both Clark joining the league and them setting up games in The Hawkeye State as a result of her inclusion remains to be seen, the potential for Clark’s Unrivaled return to Iowa has become one of this offseason’s most compelling stories.
