Even though she has encountered considerable criticism, Clark still manages to smash barriers and achieve milestones, showing the bright future ahead for her WNBA career. Her potential to become a key player in the league is evident through her consistent performance under pressure.
Quickest to reach 200 Points, 75 Rebounds, and 75 Assists.
Clark not only matched Stewart’s statistic, but also became the quickest player in WNBA history to reach 200-plus points, 75-plus rebounds, and 75-plus assists.

She is a valuable asset to the Indiana Fever and a player to keep an eye on in the upcoming years due to her ability to contribute in multiple areas.

Together with Sabrina Ionescu, a former Oregon standout and current New York Liberty guard, she made history as one of the few WNBA players to achieve 150+ points, 50+ rebounds, and 50+ assists in the first ten games of their career. This accomplishment demonstrates her quick adjustment to the professional level and her consistent high performance ability.
