    Clark scored 19 points and added seven rebounds and seven assists on 6 of 14 shooting from the field. Clark made four 3-pointers and tied the WNBA rookie record for most 3-pointers made in a single season with 85. She is tied with Rhyne Howard of the Dream for the record.

    The Fever rookie also suffered an ankle injury before the first half was over, walking off the field under her own power and returning for the second half.

    “I watched the replay and I look really weak. It wasn’t a bad shot, but it hurt,” she told reporters after the game, via the Indy Star.
