The injury scare didn't stop her from achieving her career milestone.
With her career stats standing at 1,640 points and 700 assists, Clark continues to shine and is just six assists away from becoming one of the top 25 all-time players in career assists. While she has yet to reach the top 25, she currently holds the all-time WNBA record for the career assists-per-game average at 8.43 per game.
