Skyy Clark Turns Pro, Leaving UCLA to Pursue Professional Basketball

After a standout college career, the guard opts for the professional route as UCLA seeks to fill his void.

Skyy Clark, a guard who spent his final two seasons with the UCLA Bruins, has announced his intention to embark on a professional basketball career, ending his collegiate eligibility.

During his UCLA tenure he started 57 of 60 games, averaging 11.5 points and shooting 42.7% from three‑point range, numbers that placed him among the team’s most reliable backcourt players.

Before arriving in Westwood, Clark navigated a brief stint at Illinois, where he played 13 games while coping with personal challenges, and earlier still he began his college path at Louisville.

Teammates and coaches have highlighted his resilience, noting that he returned from a hamstring injury and played through a chipped front tooth during the NCAA Tournament, underscoring a gritty work ethic.

Looking Toward the Pros

Now that he has filed for a fifth year of eligibility and entered the transfer portal, Clark’s focus has shifted to the professional arena, where teams will evaluate his shooting touch and durability. UCLA, meanwhile, must find a replacement to maintain its guard production and keep pace in the Pac‑12.
