“There have been moments where I’ve wanted to give up,” Alysha Clark admitted in an interview last year, and at 37 years old, nobody would have complained if she had. After Diana Taurasi’s retirement, Clark is now the oldest player in the WNBA. In her WNBA career spanning more than a decade, she has had many ups and downs along with some highlights. After spending the last two years with the Las Vegas Aces, she will be returning to the Storm, where she won two titles and has spent nine years.

What is Alysha Clark’s net worth in 2025?

As of 2025, Alysha Clark’s estimated net worth is approximately $5 million, a reflection of her long-standing and multifaceted basketball career. This figure includes her WNBA earnings, which are reported at around $660,550 over 12 seasons, as well as substantial income from playing internationally in countries such as Israel and France.

Alysha Clark’s College and Professional Career

After being an AAU All-American in high school, Clark was scouted by Belmont, where it didn’t take her much time to make an impact. In just her freshman season, she was honored as both the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year. After transferring to Middle Tennessee and sitting out the 2007–08 season due to NCAA transfer rules, Clark quickly became one of the most prolific scorers in college basketball history.

Have an interesting take?

She led the NCAA in scoring for two consecutive seasons, averaging 27.3 points per game in 2008–09 and 28.3 points in 2009–10. During her time at MTSU, she became one of the all-time greats as she surpassed 2,000 career points and 1,000 rebounds, solidifying her legacy as one of the program’s all-time greats.

Clark was selected 17th overall in the 2010 WNBA Draft by the San Antonio Silver Stars but was unfortunately waived before the season began. She bided her time, and a breakthrough came in 2012 when she signed with the Seattle Storm. Over the next decade, she became a key contributor, known for her elite perimeter defense, versatility, and leadership. She helped lead Seattle to two WNBA championships in 2018 and 2020. Clark later joined the Washington Mystics and then signed with the Las Vegas Aces in 2023, where she won another championship and was named the WNBA Sixth Player of the Year.

She holds career averages of 6.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game, while shooting an impressive 48.5 percent from the field and 38.3 percent from beyond the arc. In the last season, she averaged 6.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game, shooting 44.3 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from the threepoint range. The year prior, Clark’s impactful presence off the bench earned her the WNBA Sixth Player of the Year award, underscoring her value as a reliable and versatile veteran in the league.

Her longevity in the W has been something to marvel at, as Clark revealed that her Lisfranc injury to her right foot in 2021 actually stretched her career. “I think that helped prolong my career, to be honest,” she has said. “And I give all the credit to the physical therapists that I worked with in DC during that time — because that’s who did it for me.”

During WNBA offseasons, Clark expanded her game and résumé by playing overseas in countries including Israel, Turkey, Poland, and France. She enjoyed tremendous success abroad, winning multiple league championships and earning MVP honors. Her dual citizenship with Israel allowed her to represent Israeli clubs at the highest level of European competition, further enhancing her reputation as a complete and impactful player on the global stage.

The only two titles in franchise history came with Clark on the roster. Since her departure in 2020, they haven’t reached the finals. Could her return spark a championship run in 2025? They have the talent to win that ring, but stiff competition awaits.
