Her inclusion on the 12-player roster alongside other top WNBA talents like Aliyah Boston, Paige Bueckers, and Kelsey Plum has her fans excited to see her compete on the international stage.

Clark's selection to the Team USA roster is a major milestone in her young career, as she gets the opportunity to represent her country and compete against the world's best women's basketball players.
