This is a historic moment, an inflection point for women’s basketball, and there’s nothing more fitting than Indiana being at the center of it all Over several seasons, we have built a young, talented roster that fans are excited to support, and this is momentum that we will build off for years to come.”
Eight of the 12 teams in the WNBA qualify for the postseason, and the Fever currently sit in 7th. Given the historic attention she’s brought to the league, the WNBA will obviously be hoping that Clark and the Fever will qualify for the playoffs in order to keep this unprecedented momentum going.
So far during her rookie season, Clark, the odds-on favorite to win WNBA Rookie of the Year, has started in all of the Fever’s games and is averaging 17.1 points, 8.2 assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game.
