There are actually three approaches to consider, your two alternative proposals and leaving it alone.

I don't have any preference between leaving it alone and making the avatar clickable.  Having the avatar clickable is probably slightly more intuitive, but this is a really minor nit in the scheme of things where there are far more important things to spend brain cycles on.

However, the whole box should not be one click target.  In some future context it might be useful to have the scores also displayed in that box individually clickable.  I'm not saying anyone should run out and do that, but it makes sense to leave it as an option.
