Clark was limited to 13 games during the 2025 season as she dealt with various injuries, and she had been ruled out for the season by the time the Fever made their run to Game 5 of the WNBA semifinals.
But Clark is healthy now, and fans hope to see her play in both of the Fever’s meetings with Paige Bueckers’ Dallas Wings in the coming season.
The Fever’s 2026 season actually begins at Gainbridge Fieldhouse against the Wings on May 9. Indiana will host Dallas again on Aug. 14, while the Wings will host the Fever on Aug. 20 in a game that could be moved to American Airlines Center.

Bueckers, coming off a season in which she won the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year award, is hoping to lead the young Wings into the playoffs in their first year under new head coach Jose Fernandez.
