Expected to play Clark (undisclosed) is expected to play against Tulane on Saturday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Doesn't see floor Wednesday Clark didn't play during Wednesday's game against Tulane.
Impact Given that Clark has played double-digit minutes in every game he's appeared in, it seems likely the senior missed the contest for some reason rather than just falling out of the rotation. His next chance to suit up arrives Saturday versus Tulane.

Impact Clark returned to action after missing Monday's contest for undisclosed reasons, but he saw season lows in both points and minutes in this matchup.

12 points in comeback game Clark contributed 12 points (6-9 FG), six rebounds and two blocks over 17 minutes during Tuesday's 86-62 victory over McNeese State.
Impact Clark last saw collegiate action in the 2019-20 season with Baylor, but his season was cut short by a condition that ultimately led to his medical retirement. He changed his mind on that this season and elected to transfer to SMU, where he's already making an immediate impact. This is a player who was once a key contributor at the highest level, so he's worth keeping an eye on in formats that include the American conference.

Fully cleared, per coach Clark (knee) has been fully cleared for all basketball activities, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Clark hasn't suited up since the 2019-20 season with Baylor, as the 6-10 forward had previously been considered "medically retired" from basketball due to various injuries. He changed his mind this past April, entering the transfer portal and landing at SMU less than a month after that announcement. Clark showed his ceiling back in 2018-19 with the Bears, posting 14.6 points and 6.3 rebounds while serving as the primary center. That role seems likely to remain with Isiah Jasey for the time being, though Clark could prove to be a valuable depth option in the post.

Medically retires from basketball Clark announced via Twitter that he is medically retiring from basketball on Tuesday.
Impact Clark was a beast in the 2018-19 season before a knee injury cut his season short. He was able to return at the beginning of last season, but you could tell he just didn't look the same. Clark was projected to take over as the starting center with Freddie Gillespie now gone, but the senior ultimately decided his body just wasn't going to let him do it. Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua, Matthew Mayer, and Flo Thamba should all see an uptick in minutes and production this season on what is projected to be one of the top-three teams in college basketball this season.
