Clark and Gyamfi were teammates at Iowa from 2022 to 2024. During those two seasons, the Hawkeyes won the Big Ten Tournament both years and competed in back-to-back national championship games, cementing Clark's legacy as one of the best college women's basketball players in history.

While Clark has since moved on to the WNBA, Gyamfi has another season remaining at Iowa. As a junior, she averaged a career-high 1.7 points per game while shooting 70%. The two may no longer be teammates, but Gyamfi's support of Clark's WNBA career is clear.

I am so proud of what we accomplished and so excited for what the future holds," Clark said.
