The assist marked one of 13 Clark dished on Wednesday. She finished with 29 points, five rebounds and three blocks, too. However, she contributed a disappointing five turnovers to the Fever’s whopping 23 turnover total.
In 38 minutes, she shot 7-of-14 from the field (5-of-9 from 3-point range), knocking down 10-of-11 free throws, also. In the end, the Fever fell short of the Mystics, 89-84, moving their record to 9-14 on the season.
But Clark, despite the Fever’s poor record, is having herself a helluva rookie campaign. She, alongside fellow rookie and Sky forward Angel Reese, earned her first All-Star nod.
On July 6, Clark became the first WNBA rookie in history to record a triple-double. She notched 19 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists against the Liberty, upsetting them, 83-78.
