Brittney Griner, during his first season with the dream after spending his first 11 seasons with the Phoenix Mercury, scored five points and made eight rebounds.
The second year of Clark in the WNBA was prey to injuries, to say the least. But it was an injury to the groin that she suffered in the match before the star break which finally cost her the rest of the 2025 season.
