The Indiana Fever guard returned from a back injury to drop a career‑high 45 points against the Seattle Supersonics, the first 40‑point, 10‑assist game in WNBA history. After a tough July 8 loss in Los Angeles, she said, "I feel like I'm playing the best basketball of my career."

Clark has now played 80 games, becoming the fastest player to reach 1,500 points and 500 assists. She averages 21.5 points and 8.0 assists, ranking in the league’s top three in both categories. Her offensive efficiency rose from 104.2 last season to 113.9, giving her a net gain of +5.8 points per 100 possessions.

The Fever have gone 7‑3 since that loss, chasing a top‑four playoff seed. Clark’s chemistry with All‑Stars Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston has produced 14 100‑point games, a WNBA record.

Defenders still try to isolate her; she понять how to make them wrong, a skill she credits to her soccer background.

With her national team roster for the upcoming FIBA World Cup, Clark remains on the radar as one of the league’s most explosive playmakers.
