Caitlin Clark’s Potential Technical Foul Suspension Given Crucial Update by WNBA
SEE MORE>>>>Indiana Fever
Indiana Fever sensation Caitlin Clark picked up the sixth technical foul of her rookie season during the first quarter of Friday’s loss against the Las Vegas Aces after smacking a basket’s stanchion out of frustration upon receiving a foul call.
Given that the WNBA has a rule that players who pick up seven technical fouls in a regular season must receive a one-game suspension, Clark is now one more technical away from getting suspended one game.
Another important aspect of this technical foul rule is that it resets once the WNBA playoffs start. Therefore, if Clark was to pick up a seventh technical during the playoffs, she would not be at risk of suspension.
But there was still uncertainty about one aspect of this rule: What would happen if Clark picked up that seventh technical foul in the Fever’s final regular season game? Would that mean she was suspended for their first playoff game?
