Because the Yankees do not put a last name on the back of their home jerseys, the number 22 that Clark wears matches her Fever number and also serves as Juan Soto’s jersey number with the MLB club.

The WNBA went on hiatus after the July 17 games, except for the All-Star Game three days later. Clark, who played for the WNBA All-Stars against Team USA in Phoenix, allowed She was looking forward to taking a break then.

Starting her final season at Iowa, Clark played a total of 65 games over eight months from October 2023 through July 17. That includes a run to the NCAA championship game, being drafted No. 1 overall by the Fever and the intense media attention surrounding her arrival in the WNBA

Clark has had a stellar rookie season thus far. She is averaging 17.1 points, a WNBA-high 8.2 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game in 26 starts. The 22-year-old recorded the first triple-double by a rookie in league history in the Fever’s win over the New York Liberty on July 6.

The Fever resume their season on Friday with a home game against Phoenix Mercury.

Clark, meanwhile, will attend at least one of the two games between the Rangers and Yankees on Saturday, which kick off at 1:05 p.m. ET.
