Caitlin Clark Avoids Suspension As WNBA Rescinds Technical Foul
Sky guard DiJonai Carrington was also ejected for a flagrant foul.
On Saturday, the Indiana Fever faced the Chicago Sky in a WNBA matchup. During the third quarter, Caitlin Clark, the Fever's guard, was given a technical foul for making contact with an official. This incident was not the only contentious moment of the game; late in the first quarter, Sky guard DiJonai Carrington was ejected for a flagrant 2 foul on Fever guard Sophie Cunningham.
The technical foul issued to Clark was set to result in an automatic one-game suspension, as it was her eighth of the season. However, the WNBA has rescinded the technical foul against Clark, preventing her from being suspended. Following the game, Clark denied that her contact with the official was intentional. Fever coach Stephanie White received a technical foul herself, which she attributed to her language while arguing the call.
White also stated that she believed the contact with Cunningham's neck was not intentional, crediting Carrington for her physical play. The Fever will face the New York Liberty in their next game on Tuesday.
