start to her rookie season and then seeing, obviously, something so devastating like this,” Clark continued. “I know she’ll come back stronger and I know so many people are thinking of her and praying for her. I’m sure she’s overwhelmed by the support right now and she definitely deserves it. Knowing the type of person she is, this will only make her better in the long run.”
As with so many players in the WNBA around the same age, Clark and Brink have a number of shared experiences at Team USA together. At the U19 FIBA World Cup, the pair was part of a stacked roster that also included Aliyah Boston, Paige Bueckers, Hailey Van Lith and Rhyne Howard, among others.
The pair did meet twice in the WNBA this season, once in Los Angeles, where Clark connected on a pair of clutch 3-pointers to secure a win, and once in Indianapolis, where the Sparks got revenge.
