The game was held at Caitlin Clark’s alma mater’s home arena, where the Rookie of the Year spent four years perfecting her craft. Clark played for the Iowa Hawkeyes and cemented herself as one of the best college basketball players before entering the 2024 WNBA draft.

She led her college team to two consecutive championship game appearances and despite not winning the title, Clark holds the record for the all-time scorer in the D1 NCAA tournament.

This was Clark’s first preseason game this year as she missed out on the overtime thriller against the Washington Mystics on Friday due to a leg injury. The Fever guard immediately made an impact on her first game after a long time and ended the night with 16 points, six rebounds and five assists.

Unfortunately, the new Fever guard could not fulfill her ambition as she got to play only 11 minutes against the Brazilians. However, she made the most of those minutes and provided value to her team coming off the bench.

Cunnungham ended the night with six points, three rebounds and one assist on 1-on-4 shooting from deep.
