During her rookie season in the WNBA, she set multiple records, including most assists in a single season, and earned a spot on the All-WNBA first team.

Clark's NFL roots
Clark has made an appearance on the "New Heights" podcast, hosted by Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. During the podcast, the Kelce brothers asked Clark about her long-standing connection to the Chiefs.
Clark explained how her family ties and proximity to Kansas City helped shape her fandom.
"I had family in Kansas City, and I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, which is only three hours from Kansas City," she said. "So, that's just the closest NFL team. My dad was a big Chiefs fan growing up. People think I'm a bandwagon Chiefs fan. I'm like, 'No, I was Patrick or Travis.'"
As the conversation shifted, Jason Kelce asked Clark about her favorite Chiefs player, a question that was met with enthusiastic responses.
"I mean, obviously Travis is up there," Clark said, to the delight of the Kelce brothers. "But I'm obviously a big Patrick [Mahomes] fan too. The both of you, you're pretty great."
