Back on the Court & Olympic Dreams

The conversation wasn’t solely focused on basketball. Clark and her co-hosts also delved into the world of fantasy football and the upcoming NFL playoffs. She humorously admitted her primary goal in her fantasy league was simply to avoid finishing last – a goal she successfully achieved.
Despite her Chiefs fandom, Clark acknowledged kansas City’s absence from the postseason. However, she revealed a newfound thankfulness for a rising NFL star.
* She expressed admiration for New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, calling him “amazing.”
* Consequently, she indicated she’ll be rooting for the Patriots during the playoffs.

WNBA CBA discussions Remain Unaddressed
