Clark Confident in Fever’s New Direction

The franchise is also planning a new practice facility and has welcomed WNBA champions DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard2. Clark believes these changes demonstrate the Fever’s commitment to building a championship-caliber team.
Welcoming Veteran Leadership
Clark was present at the event celebrating Bonner’s arrival, where she enthusiastically endorsed the team’s recent acquisitions2. She emphasized that the new additions “understand what it takes to achieve victory, what it requires to reach the Finals, and how to secure championships,” noting their exceptional athletic abilities, leadership qualities, and character2. The Fever’s focus on experience is expected to fill a significant gap from the previous year, particularly in the playoffs.
Clark’s Impact and Optimism for the Future
As the driving force behind the Fever, Clark helped the team end a seven-year playoff drought last season2. She set a new WNBA record for assists and consistently drew large crowds and high television viewership2. With stars like Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston returning, Clark is optimistic about the Fever’s potential for growth in 2025, confident that the newcomers share her vision.
Newcomers Eager to Collaborate
Bonner, who will wear No. 25 in honor of Tamika Catchings, is eager to collaborate with Clark and Boston, with the goal of mentoring them into championship-caliber players2. She acknowledged a past on-court altercation with Clark as simply a product of “two competitive athletes striving for victory” and looks forward to playing alongside her.
Roster Refinements and Future Plans
In addition to key acquisitions, the Fever recently signed veteran guard Crystal Dangerfield and acquired guard Sophie Cunningham2. While further moves before the WNBA draft in April remain unconfirmed, Clark and Bonner are confident that the current roster has the potential to compete for a championship2. Bonner also noted the excitement surrounding the team, expressing her hope to deliver a performance worthy of the attention2.
