Clark was dribbling with the ball ahead of the Fever’s game with the Washington Mystics.

The 23-year-old is one basketball’s most talented young stars.

But viral video of Clark’s misjudgment showed even the very best can be fooled by a bounce.

Clark is currently out of action with a quad injury and didn’t play in the game.

She entertained herself on the sideline ahead of the matchup by showboating with a large bouncy ball.

Clark gave the ball a firm shove into the floor at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The ball prompty took off, firing back over Clark’s head and into the watching crowd.

A laughing Clark scampered into the seats to retrieve it, apologizing profusely to spectators who’d had to dive out the way.
