Caitlin Clark avoids 1-game suspension after WNBA reportedly rescinds 8th technical foul of season
Key Points:
- Caitlin Clark initially received an eighth technical foul during a game against the Chicago Sky, which would have triggered an automatic one-game suspension and fine from the WNBA, but the league rescinded the foul less than two hours after the game.
- The technical foul was called after Clark bumped into an official while losing balance on a drive, a decision disputed by both Clark and Fever head coach Stephanie White, who confirmed the team planned to appeal the call.
- Clark delivered a strong performance in the game with 26 points, 11 assists, and 4 rebounds, helping the Fever secure a 90-86 victory over the Sky.
- Clark remains one technical foul away from a suspension, with her eighth tech having been a looming issue since July 22; only one other player, Angel Reese, had as many technical fouls entering the game.
- The Fever-Sky game also featured an early ejection of Sky star DiJonai Carrington for a flagrant foul, who later posted a controversial message referencing "WHITE PRIVILEGE" on social media.
