News: 20 hours agoClark (leg) is out for Saturday's preseason game against the Mystics, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles reports.

Spin: Clark will miss Saturday's preseason opener due to a left leg injury, but this is likely just a precautionary measure. Sydney Colson will draw the start in her absence. Clark's next chance to suit up is the Fever's preseason outing against the Dream on May 10.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After a record-breaking collegiate career at Iowa, Clark made her mark on the WNBA as a rookie in 2024. Clark set a single-season record with 337 assists, made the second-most three-pointers in a season in WNBA history (122), set a single-season record for points as a rookie (769) and was the first rookie to record a triple-double. After a rocky start, Clark found her groove in June and didn't look back, averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, 5.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.1 three-pointers in 35.4 minutes per game while appearing in every game. However, Clark shot only 41.7 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from deep while committing 5.6 turnovers per game. Clark could cede some work to newcomers Natasha Howard, DeWanna Bonner and Sophie Cunningham in 2025, but she should flourish in an improved offense that still has Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston. Clark was a top-tier fantasy contributor last year and still has room to grow, making her a strong choice at the top of fantasy drafts.
