“It’s not the movement of free tack, we want to see when it comes to freedom of movement. And I think all these things, sometimes, while it may be any hit or other, in time it can contribute to that.”

Clark targeted the physical defenders of the entire season. Opponents pressed her full court, bumped on the screens and applied contact at almost every drive.

That aggressive approach caused discussions about how VNBA officials deal with the contact against the above guards And is there enough protection for the stars ups.

Despite constant contact, Clark continued to set strong numbers. Currently average 16.5 points, 8.5 helps and 5.5 jumps per game. Its ability to orchestrate a criminal offense has made a key part of the success of fever. Indiana knows significantly better when it’s on the ground.

However, the scope of injuries is concern. Clark has never missed any play during his college in Iowa. Its array of absences this season turned attention to the physical intensity of professional games and adapting required.

White and staff in fever work with coaches to make Clark recover during the development of long-term solutions. The team is expected to focus on the load management, recovery and ways to reduce unnecessary wear during games.

Its status for the upcoming game of All-Star and Troent Contest is still uncertain. Fever stated that she will still be assessed in the coming days.

Clark represents the future of VNBA. Her leadership, performance and popularity have already raised the profile of the league. Now the focus shifts that he is kept healthy. Consciousnesses of the adjustment, support and width of the league will be revoked to protect one of the most brightest young stars in the game.
