Clark, the Division I all-time leading scorer, also added a few pictures from a photoshoot for the Indiana Fever.

"We are so back… YEAR 2❤️‍🔥," she wrote on Instagram.

Jada Gyamfi and other ex-Iowa teammates Kate Martin and Gabbie Marshall commented on the Fever star's post.

"Cannot wait to hug you & cuddle you," she added a comment.

"Year 2 let’s get ittttttttt," Martin said.

"Can't wait to squeeze you !!!!!" Marshall chimed in.

Gyamfi, Martin and Marshall commented on Instagram (@caitlinclark22/IG)

The WNBA preseason began on Friday with the Fever defeating the Washington Mystics 79-74 in overtime. However, Clark was missing from the game due to a minor leg injury.

"Just a little tightness," Clark said. "I'll go through all our warmups and everything — and then they'll decide if I'm good to go or not."

She traveled with the team and warmed up ahead of tipoff but was held out of the contest as a precaution.

Jada Gyamfi embraces last year at Iowa, says won't chase pro basketball path afterwards

On Apr. 7, Jada Gyamfi announced on Instagram that she would be returning to Iowa for her final year of eligibility.

On Thursday, Iowa's Instagram account uploaded a graphic with a list of its Big 10 opponents for the upcoming season. The dates and times of the games are not finalized yet.

Gyamfi showed her excitement by commenting on the post:

"Hey Siri play California girls🏝️," she wrote.

As the 6-foot-1 Iowa native gears up for her last season with the Hawkeyes, Gyamfi is clear about her plans after graduation, which do not include chasing a career in professional basketball.

During an episode of "Fresh Tawk" in January, Jada Gyamfi answered questions from fans, and one of them asked about her plans after finishing college.

"Plans after college for me as of right now are to become a teacher," she said. That's what I'm in school for, so that's what I'm going to do when I'm done — use my degree."

Gyamfi played 11 games as a junior, averaging 1.7 points and 0.7 rebounds per contest.
