Caitlin Clark Avoids Suspension After Eighth Tech Is Rescinded

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is eligible to play against the New York Liberty Tuesday after the WNBA rescinded her tech.

Saturday was a big day for Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark. She earned her eighth technical foul of the season, which would typically result in a one-game suspension. However, the WNBA decided to reverse that decision, allowing Clark to play in the Fever's next game. Clark clarified to the media that the foul was unintentional, as it occurred when she bumped into a referee during the third quarter of the game against the Chicago Sky.

Despite the technical foul drama, the Fever emerged victorious with a 90-86 win against the Sky. Clark's performance was nothing short of phenomenal, tallying 26 points, four rebounds, 11 assists, two steals, and one block. Her teammate Kelsey Mitchell also had a stellar game, scoring 27 points, grabbing five rebounds, dishing out two assists, recording two steals, and snagging one block.

Together, they tied a record for the second-most 25-point games by a duo in WNBA history, marking their eighth time scoring at least 25 points in a single game. Additionally, their combined 516 points in their last 10 games is the most ever by any duo in a 10-game series, showcasing their impressive form at the moment.
