The Fever rebounded from a 1-8 start to make the playoffs for the first time since 2016. The team finished with a 20-20 record and lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Sun.

Clark had a record-breaking season on and off the court. She broke the WNBA single-season assist record, as well as setting the league's individual game mark. The unanimous AP Rookie of the Year also broke the rookie record for points in a season.

"We are a young group. We have a lot of really talented players on this team, and you know, we won 20 games this year and we are the sixth seed, but I feel like there is so much more that we can accomplish. You can always work for that and remind yourself of that and that's certainly what I am going to do going into the offseason," Clark said.

In the regular season, Clark and Kelsey Mitchell both averaged 19.2 points per game, finishing in the top 10 in the league in scoring. Clark led the league in assists and 3-pointers made, averaging 8.4  and 3.0 per game, respectively. Aliyah Boston finished in the top 10 in the league in rebounding, with 8.9 per game.
