When asked on "60 Minutes" what she thought her "signature moment" of the season was, she gave a surprising answer.
"I remember we were in New York and Jonquel Jones set a good screen on me and I actually popped my eardrum," Clark recalled. "I ruptured my eardrum just on a screen, It was a really good screen by J.J. She’s a tremendous player, but I think that just kind of speaks to the physicality of the league. She kind of just got me in the right spot.
"I think it’s something I’ll always remember coming into the league. … That’s probably more memorable honestly."
