IOWA CITY, Iowa (KCRG, AP) – Hear from former Iowa Hawkeye and Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark before her team takes on the Brazilian national team at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday.

An Iowa City legend returns Sunday as Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever take on the Brazilian national team in an exhibition game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

“I’m really excited,” Clark said. “It should be fun. I can’t believe it’s already here. I honestly haven’t been back to Iowa City a ton since I left a year ago now — only been back once for a football game and once for the jersey retirement. But it will be fun to get back there, see some of my former teammates, my friends that are there.”

Clark did have one concern about the trip to Iowa; the basketball arena doesn’t have air conditioning.

“A lot of my family will be coming, so I know they’re excited. I warned everybody, I’m like there’s not air conditioning in Carver-Hawkeye (Arena), usually don’t play basketball games there in May, so hopefully it stays a little cool in there,” she said, laughing.

The sold-out game will tip off at 3 p.m. on ESPN.
