Caitlin Clark's 1-word description sums up Iowa return after crazy stats in 3 quarters for Fever image

Caitlin Clark made the most of her return to Iowa.

She got buckets, dished dimes, drained a moon-shot 3-pointer and wowed the thousands of fans that came to watch their native daughter play ball.

Afterward, she was asked for one word to describe the whole experience.

Clark's choice? "Unreal."

She was her unreal self on the court, that's for sure.

Her final stats:

  • 16 points
  • 6 rebounds
  • 5 assists
  • 60% FG
  • 4 3-pointers

Those all came in three quarters before Clark earned a well-deserved preseason rest in the fourth as the Fever blew out the Brazilian National Team.

Oh, and Clark did this.

The slight Clark injury scare from Saturday's preseason absence due to left knee tightness was quickly out the window.

This is the Caitlin Clark that Iowa and WNBA fans have come to love. She's ready for year two in the W.
