The Indiana Fever will be returning to the Carver-Hawkeye Arena on May 4, 2025. While they will be taking on the Brazilian women’s national team, the fans are getting hyped up for an entirely different reason. Along with the team, it will also mark the homecoming of none other than Caitlin Clark. Clark has been one of the pillars of the Fevers in recent times. Not only her own team but also Clark’s immense success has made the WNBA a product that soars to new heights.
Ahead of their preseason matchup, the ticket sales have seen a new high. The 15,000 tickets were sold out in a matter of just 40 minutes. And what’s more, the prices of the tickets have set a new record too. The cheapest tickets available on TickPick are listed as $715. Surprisingly, this is more expensive than any tickets for the NBA this season!

Surely, the hype is pretty much justified. Clark also holds the NCAA women’s record for a career scoring average of an incredible 28.4 points per game. Meanwhile, in a recent turn of events, Caitlin Clark has been accused of ‘ruining’ the NBA All-Star weekend.
Caitlin Clark Faces Backlash For Declining NBA All-Star Invitation
The NBA All-Star is one of the most star-studded affairs of the year. While the NBA stars were in full attendance, in order to make things more interesting, the NBA approached Caitlin Clark to be a part of the grand extravaganza. However, after some serious consideration, Clark declined the offer. This seemed to have angered ‘The Odd Couple’ commentator Rob Parker significantly.
Lashing out at Clark, Parker stated, “How can she say no when the WNBA wouldn’t even be around if it wasn’t for the NBA? They have subsidized that league forever. Ratings this year, right? Guess how much money the WNBA lost this past year — $50 million. Even with Caitlin Clark and her numbers. So the least she could have done was done a solid for her brothers in the NBA.”
