Maintaining their relationship while playing in separate conferences, Clark and Martin have shared a moment each time they have crossed paths this season.

Clark made an Instagram post on Monday, September 16, for the first time since August 18. Tallying over 84,000 likes and 820 comments in one hour, Clark also received a three-word message from Martin.

"You amaze me," Martin wrote.

Several other WNBA and college basketball players commented on Clark's post, including Aliyah Boston, Flau'jae Johnson, Liz Kitley, Jada Gyamfi, Gabbie Marshall and more.

With a large following from her time at Iowa, Martin has 400,000 followers on Instagram. As for Clark, she is approaching 3M followers on Instagram.

Martin has appeared in 33 games (one start) for Las Vegas this season but has averaged just 10.9 minutes per game. Clark is entering Indiana's season finale with averages of 19.5 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds.
