While much of the Fever roster will have a lengthy break until they play their next game on Sept. 18, Clark is joining the loaded Team USA roster alongside teammate Aliyah Boston and head coach Stephanie White (serving as assistant coach) at the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in Berlin, Germany.
Once the international tournament is over, Clark and the Fever will look to secure home-court advantage in the WNBA Playoffs when they resume play with just four games remaining in their 2026 regular-season schedule.
