Clark does it again!

We won't see Clark hit the court again until Friday, August 16 when the Fever take on the Phoenix Mercury. The WNBA paused the regular season for a short time due to the 2024 Summer Olympics. Numerous stars of the league are participating this year, including Sabrina Ionescu, Kelsey Plum, Breanna Stewart, and A'Ja Wilson.

Clark has been solid throughout her rookie season as she's made plenty of noise so far. The last game she played in, Clark broke the WNBA single-game record for assists, recording 19 dimes against the Dallas Wings.

The Fever star is in the mix for Rookie of the Year and is the favorite to win the award. This season, Clark has averaged 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game.
