Caitlin Clark picks up 8th technical foul, automatic suspended for next game

CHICAGO (WRTV) — Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will likely be suspended for Tuesday’s home game against the New York Liberty after picking up her eighth technical foul in Chicago Saturday.

The Fever have the opportunity to appeal the call and get it rescinded. However, Clark has yet to have a tech taken away this season.

Clark received the technical foul late in the third quarter against the Sky after making contact with a ref. Clark was visibly surprised by the call. Fever head coach Stephanie White came to Clark’s defense, arguing the call during the Sky’s subsequent free throws. That resulted in another technical foul assessed to White.

By rule, Clark must serve a one-game suspension and sit for the next game on the schedule, which is Tuesday’s matchup against the Liberty.

When asked about the incident postgame, Clark said, “Nothing was said. I’ll see you on Tuesday.”

The Fever ultimately held off a late Sky comeback to win, 90-86.
