Clark led Indiana to a 3-0 record in the past week. The team defeated the New York Liberty, Dallas Wings and Atlanta Dream, and is on a four-game winning streak. The Fever pushed their record to 23-12 and are now sitting in solo fourth place.

The three-time All-Star guard continues to electrify crowds across the country with her elite skill set. She is showing that her game is getting better each game despite defenses giving her their all night in and night out.

Clark and Co. have nine games remaining in their regular-season schedule. They are behind the Aces by just half-a-game and are in a good position to secure a top three seed. Indiana will wrap up its slate with three of its last games at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The team needs to keep the momentum going and finish strong to be in a more favorable spot in the playoffs.
