Barring an overturn of a call made by an official on the floor, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is set to be suspended for her next game.
In the third quarter of the Fever’s matchup with the Chicago Sky, Clark was driving to the basket when her defender, Natasha Cloud, blocked off Clark’s lane.
In her attempt to keep the play alive, Clark threw a pass in the direction of a teammate. As her momentum carried forward, the Fever star made contact with official Genesis Perrymond and appeared to extend her forearm and elbow into the referee to move her away.
After about a second of game time had elapsed, Perrymond then blew her whistle and called a technical foul on Clark.
This marks the eighth technical foul that Clark has received this season. Unless the technical is overturned after an appeal, this will trigger an automatic one-game suspension.
Clark was stunned by the call, as was her coach Stephanie White. After the coach began screaming at Perrymond for an explanation, she too was assessed a technical.
