Late in the fourth quarter, Clark found Kelsey Mitchell with a nifty backdoor pass, but came up hobbled. She grabbed the inside of her right leg and walked the length of the court in obvious pain. She put her head against the basket stanchion on the other end of the floor and was visibly upset.

That was the last game Clark played before she missed nearly a month with a quad ailment. She returned, ironically enough, against the Liberty on June 14, and put up her best performance of the season, scoring 32 points in a 102-88 triumph, one that ended New York's perfect start to the season at nine games.
