Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark moved closer to a one-game suspension on Wednesday night, receiving her seventh technical foul of the season during a match against the Connecticut Sun.
With the Fever leading 95-67 near the end of the third quarter, a foul was called on Olivia Nelson-Ododa. Connecticut Sun player Saniya Rivers exchanged words with Clark, prompting the officials to issue technical fouls to both players before the situation escalated.
Comments on the Incident
Clark explained post-game, via ESPN, “She said she was locking me up, so I responded with ‘Scoreboard,’ and the ref didn’t favor that.” Clark emphasized she will not alter her playing style despite the looming one-game suspension threat from further technical fouls.
Clark remarked, “I aim to manage my emotions. My intensity is essential to who I am, yet I must balance that with my role in the team. I won’t play with that hanging over me.”
