Previously, she suffered injuries to her left quadriceps and left groin. In the 13 games he has played this season, Clark averages 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, and 5.0 rebounds.Without Clark, the Fever, considered a WNBA title contender at the beginning of the year, improved their record to 13-12 and moved into sixth place in the standings after an 80-70 home victory over the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday night.
