WNBA Champion Alysha Clark re-signs with AU Pro Basketball

She started all 12 games, averaging 10.2 points and 6.5 rebounds while shooting 46.4% from the field. Clark’s consistency was evident throughout the campaign, and she closed the year with double-digit scoring in four of her final five games. She collected three Game MVP honors, including a standout 21-point, 14-rebound double-double against Team Siegrist on February 20. She also posted a season-best 626 leaderboard points against Team Harrison, part of two games where she surpassed the 500-point mark.

Her AU performance added another chapter to a decorated professional career. Drafted 17th overall by San Antonio in 2010, Clark has logged 381 WNBA appearances across 12 seasons with Seattle, Washington, and Las Vegas. She is a three-time WNBA champion, capturing titles with the Storm in 2018 and 2020 and again with the Aces in 2023. Her resume includes two All-Defensive Team selections and the 2023 WNBA Sixth Player of the Year award. This season, Clark began the year with the Seattle Storm before being traded to the Washington Mystics.

Clark has also built an impressive career overseas with stints in France, Turkey, Poland, and Israel. She earned league MVP honors in Israel while winning championships with Maccabi Ashdod, CCC Polkowice, and Lyon ASVEL Féminin.

Before her pro career, Clark starred collegiately at both Belmont and Middle Tennessee. She became the fastest player in Belmont history to reach 1,000 points and earned back-to-back Atlantic Sun Player of the Year honors before transferring to Middle Tennessee. With the Blue Raiders, she established herself as one of the nation’s top scorers, leading NCAA Division I in points per game in both 2008–09 and 2009–10. Clark set multiple school records, including a 50-point performance against Troy, and remains one of the program’s all-time greats.

A Tennessee native and 2020 Middle Tennessee Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, Clark is also known for her work off the court. She is a two-time recipient of the WNBA Community Assist Award and has spearheaded initiatives, including a toy drive for Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Clark now returns to AU with her trademark versatility, defense, and leadership, ready to build on her debut season as the competition enters its fifth year.
