“Year 3!!! See you all soon ❤️‍🔥,” Clark wrote.

The Los Angeles Lakers forward kept his comment short, but the message was clear.

“LFG!!!!!!!! 💪🏾,” James commented.

The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year was limited to 13 games last season due to a groin injury. She is back to full strength and is ready to lead her team to a deep playoff run or a potential championship.

Clark and the Fever will start their regular season with a home matchup against the Dallas Wings on Saturday. They went 2-1 in the preseason, including Saturday’s 105-57 victory over the Nigeria national team.

Meanwhile, James and Los Angeles will begin their Western Conference semifinals series against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. They advanced to the second round after defeating the Houston Rockets in six games.
