Despite Clark only playing 13 games last season due to an assortment of soft-tissue injuries, she did manage to suit up against the Valkyries when the Fever played in San Francisco on June 19, 2025. However, the Valkyries’ aggressive defensive pressure limited Clark to just 11 points on 3-for-14 shooting and forced six turnovers in an 88-77 win over the Fever.

Through five of Indiana’s six games this season, Clark’s impressive start has set even more WNBA records, averaging 23.8 points, 9 assists, and 4.4 rebounds per game on 43.2% field-goal shooting, 34.8% 3-point shooting, and 96.4% free-throw shooting.

As the Fever face the Valkyries for the second consecutive game, Clark and the rest of the squad will look to record their fourth straight win to kick off a two-game road trip and improve to a 5-2 record on the season.

Indiana and Golden State are scheduled for a 9 p.m. CT tip in a game that will be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
