After missing the Indiana Fever's preseason opener against the Washington Mystics, Caitlin Clark, dealing with a leg injury, was expected to make her 2025 debut in front of a familiar crowd.
On Sunday, Clark and the Fever traveled to Iowa City to play the first WNBA game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, home of the Iowa Hawkeyes. Clark spent four seasons with Iowa in college, becoming the NCAA's all-time leading scorer.

"bright (expletive) light all in her face id be so irritated," commented a fourth.
"Give her space," posted a fifth.
"A superstar But they really did to take it easy with the light," added a sixth.

It didn't take long for Clark to get adjusted to the WNBA. In her rookie season with Indiana, she led the Fever to their first playoffs since 2016, while continuing to break many records throughout.
