Unfortunately for the young phenom, she already missed three weeks earlier this due to a left quadriceps strain. Despite only playing in nine of the team's 14 games this year, Clark has still managed to be a dominant force for the Fever, averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists and five rebounds per game in 2025. When featured in the lineup, her presence is felt, as she has led the franchise to a 5-4 record in the games she has started.

After taking the women's college basketball scene by storm with the Hawkeyes, Clark became the clear-cut best prospect in the 2024 WNBA Draft after averaging 28.4 points and 8.2 assists in 139 games with Iowa. Clark would eventually be selected No. 1 by the Fever and continued her dominant run at the professional level in her rookie season, recording 19.2 points and 8.4 assists per game last season.
