Of course, Clark was named the WNBA Rookie of the Month and Eastern Conference Player of the Month for August last week.
Clark enters the final four games of the season just 53 points shy of breaking Seimone Augustus’s record of 744 points for the rookie single-season scoring record.
The 6-foot guard also tallied her 300th assist in the win over the Dream, becoming the fastest player to reach that feat in league history.
Indiana returns to action with back-to-back matchups against the two-time defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces on Wednesday and Friday before hosting their final home game of the 2024 regular season against the Dallas Wings on Sunday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
