The sold-out College Park Center in Arlington, Texas, was abuzz with excitement as fans eagerly awaited Clark’s first game in a Fever uniform.

While the Fever may have come up short in their preseason matchup against the Wings, Clark’s debut provided a glimpse of the exciting potential she brings to the team.
