Clark told TODAY ahead of the draft that joining the WNBA would “probably be a bit of a learning curve,” but she was looking forward to the “challenge.”
“Being confident in all the work I’ve put in, in the moments, and knowing that I’ve earned to be in this moment — that’s always kind of what I remind myself, you know, you’re not here by accident,” Clark told Stephanie Gosk of NBC News.
The Fever have played four games this season, with their next game planned for May 22 against the Seattle Storm.
