Early Friday morning, hours before she won the WNBA's 3-Point Contest for a second time with a historic 30-point score in the final round, Sabrina Ionescu sat at a podium on the practice court deep inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse and made a surprising admission.

Despite the success, Clark has missed ample time. She previously dealt with a leg injury and has most recently been struck with a groin injury, which she re-aggravated ahead of the All-Star break. Clark has missed 11 of the Fever’s 24 games, which includes the Commissioner’s Cup final.
