She now has 3,650 career points with one more game in the regular season left to go, along with the Big Ten Tournament and the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament.

While Clark maintained she still has business to take care of, she said she was "excited" to be entering the draft.

"It is impossible to fully express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me during my time at Iowa — my teammates, who made the last four years the best; my coaches, trainers and staff who always let me be me; Hawkeye fans who filled Carver every night; and everyone who came out to support us across the country, especially the young kids," Clark said in a statement.
