Overview

  • Clark topped fan voting with 1,293,526 ballots and will co-captain the July 19 All-Star Game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse alongside Napheesa Collier.
  • She has missed seven games this season (five with a quad injury, two with a groin strain) and is listed day-to-day after practicing non-contact offensive work.
  • Her sophomore averages stand at 18.2 points and a career-high 8.9 assists per game, but her shooting efficiency has dipped to 39% from the field and 29.5% from three.
  • Indiana bolstered its backcourt midseason by adding veteran guard Aari McDonald, who has already shown playmaking impact with six assists in her second appearance.
  • Clark will headline the All-Star draft on July 8, selecting from eight starters and 12 reserves as she prepares to lead Team East at home in Indianapolis.
