She has been a standout player for the team, helping them win three out of their last four games. In a recent game against the Sky, Clark put up impressive stats with 23 points, nine assists, eight rebounds, and two blocks in 37 minutes of play. Although she fell just short of a triple-double, her performance was still remarkable. On the other side, Angel Reese, who was Clark’s college rival and is now a professional player, finished the game with 11 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and a block, but also received a flagrant foul for her actions against Clark.
Throughout the season, Clark has been averaging 16.1 points, 6.2 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game, while Reese has been putting up 12.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game.
