“And some days your drive is really good. Sometimes your drive is really bad. You never believe everything is going at once, but you just kind of figure it out and have fun. I don’t take golf seriously. I have fun with it.”
Clark’s time on the basketball court in 2025 was limited due to a series of injuries.
In September, Clark announced he was eliminated for the remainder of the season. He had already been out since July 15, when he suffered a groin injury in a game against the Connecticut Sun.

“I feel like I’m back to 100% now, so I’m trying to take advantage of the fall weather in Indianapolis before it gets too cold,” the 24-year-old said, via The Palm Beach Post.
