Clark will still get her moment over the weekend when she participates in the All-Star Game as a member of the WNBA Team against the women's olympic basketball team Saturday night.
As for the month-long break, Clark expressed his desire to be in Paris, but said he will take some much-needed time off.
“I think it's going to be really good for me and my body,” he said Wednesday. “I'm getting close to a full year of playing basketball non-stop. So it's probably going to be a little weird for me not to play games. But I think it's definitely going to be good for my body.”
