The Indiana Fever clinched the sixth seed in this year’s playoffs, which will be their first playoff appearance since 2016.
“Everybody is definitely excited for the playoffs,” Clark said. “We’re not just happy to be there. We really feel like we can compete with every single team.”
It’s been a historic week for the WNBA, as Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson became the first WNBA player to reach 1,000 points in a season and broke the WNBA’s all-time single season scoring record.
Clark now has another record she can add to her long list of accomplishments, and she seemingly has her sights set winning a WNBA championship.
