Martin’s influence was on full display during a recent practice, where a video of her draining a half-court shot went viral on the Aces’ official social media account. The clip, captioned “MONEY MARTIN!!,” drew an outpouring of support from fans.
“She’s gonna be a star,” one fan commented. “Kate out here living her best life and I love that for her. #A4L #ALLINLV,” wrote another.

Despite Martin’s limited eight minutes on the court, the game was closely watched for the showdown between the two friends. Clark’s Fever, hoping to build momentum after a recent win, faced a tough challenge against the back-to-back defending champion Aces.
The Las Vegas Aces, led by 2023 WNBA Finals MVP A’ja Wilson, overpowered the Fever with a 99-80 victory at Michelob ULTRA Arena. The Fever, grappling with a five-game losing streak, struggled against the Aces, who are off to a strong 3-1 start in their quest for a third consecutive WNBA title, a feat not achieved since the Houston Comets era.
