Clark finished the game with an impressive stat line that included 24 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds. It is very rare in the WNBA that you get to see a player of her ability, who can contribute at every juncture of the game.
First rookie to achieve this feat

With her solid performances and remarkable achievements, she has earned status as one of the most promising young talents in the league.
Clark's college career

She continued her success in the top league as on Wednesday, she made four 3-pointers that put her at 102 treys for the season. This feat of hers meant that she became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach the century mark, achieving it in just her 34th game.
Unforgettable month of August for Clark
Clark's exceptional style of play has not gone unnoticed as she was honored with the WNBA Rookie of the Month and Eastern Conference Player of the Month awards for August. Her impact on the Indiana Fever has been undeniable.
After grabbing her final rebound from Wednesday's game, she couldn't help but smile as she had just secured her second triple-double of the season. In fact, her teammates and the crowd of 16,645 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse immediately recognized the significance of her achievement.
