“LFG!!!!!!!!” James in the comments section of the post.

James appeared to be a big fan of Clark when he wrote about the Fever sharpshooter before the start of her second season in the WNBA.

“Good luck and DO YOU as usual this season!!!”

Year 2 didn’t exactly work out for Clark. She started the season hot, finishing with double-figure scoring in eight straight games before being held to just six points in 31 minutes against the Seattle Storm.

Clark reached at least 12 points in the last three games she appeared in. On July 15, Clark suffered a hamstring injury before the All-Star break and would not return to the floor for the rest of the year.

She said last month she was “100% healthy” heading into the 2026 season.

“I’m a person who doesn’t want to sit out a single rep, like I want to be in there every single time,” Clark told reporters in April. “But I think just being a little bit smarter with my body … whether it’s recovery, whether it’s pre-trial, whatever it is.”

She proved that much so far during the preseason.
