It has been nearly two years since former Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark suited up for the Hawkeyes, but she continues to give back to her Alma Mater.
Before becoming the No. 1 overall pick by the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Clark helped guide the Iowa Women's Basketball program to back-to-back NCAA Tournament championship game appearances (2023, 2024) and shattered numerous records along the way.
The NCAA's all-time leading scorer continued her success in the WNBA, becoming the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year, and being named to the All-WNBA First Team. She is the first rookie to make the All-WNBA First team since 2008.
During her time at Iowa, Clark was known for being generous, using her name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals to gift numerous items to her teammates and the coaching staff.
After a birthday celebration thrown by her teammates just before her 22nd birthday, Clark gifted everyone with Nike Dunks sneakers.
During her time at Iowa, Clark secured an NIL deal with Nike, and continued that partnership when she turned pro. On July 22, Clark used her Nike deal to make a special donation to the Iowa Men's and Women's Basketball programs.

Clark gave all the players and coaches her signature version of the Nike Kobe V Protro sneakers that were released on June 30 for $190. After their release, the shoes sold out in minutes.
In April 2024, it was announced that Clark signed an eight-year, $28 million endorsement deal with Nike, and she used that deal to give back to both Iowa Basketball programs.
Clark continues to work her way back from another injury she suffered just before the WNBA All-Star break, and will miss the Indiana Fever's next game on Tuesday, July 22, at 7:00 p.m. Central Time against the New York Liberty.
