Her stellar play has not only led the Fever to a 5-1 record for the month but also secured their first playoff appearance since 2016.
In the matchup against the Sparks, who are currently at the bottom of the standings, Clark continued her impressive run. The highlight of the game was a behind-the-back assist she delivered to her All-Star teammate, Aliyah Boston. The pass was so remarkable that it quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), amassing over 1,000 likes within just 20 minutes.
The Fever’s official X account further fueled the excitement by posting a slow-motion video of the pass, which has been widely praised by fans. “I can’t even do that in 2k basketball game,” wrote @JNNonX, capturing the disbelief many felt. The Fever’s media team has been commended for their effective promotion of Clark’s highlights, with fans calling the pass “art” and celebrating the quality of the content.
Clark’s ability to generate assists at such a high volume—and with such flair—cements her position as the WNBA’s assists leader. With an average of 8.4 assists per game, Clark’s performance in the win over the Sparks, where she registered 10 assists, further underscores her impact on the court.
As Clark continues to dazzle with her playmaking and lead the Fever, the excitement surrounding her and the team is palpable. Fans and analysts alike eagerly anticipate her next highlight-reel moment as the season progresses.
