Caitlin Clark gets a technical foul and it could trigger a fine in the big win. Early in the first quarter of the Fever’s 108-88 win over the New York Liberty. Clark was called for a ridiculous technical foul after she ran full speed into a hard screen set by Jonquel Jones.
It was Clark’s sixth of the 2026 season.
Clark said it was called after she clapped her hands and the officials told her it was for clapping her hands.
Unbelievable — An illegal screen is set on Caitlin Clark by Jonquel Jones, and there’s no whistle. She completely laid her out with her shoulder!

Fever head coach Stephanie White said she did not ask for an explanation from officials for the call on Clark or the no-call on the screen play.
The $1,000 fine that comes with the tech puts her two away from an automatic one-game suspension under WNBA rules.
Later in the game, during a defensive contest near the basket, New York’s Breanna Stewart extended her arm while challenging a shot. Replays showed Stewart’s hand making clear contact with the side of Clark’s face.
No foul was called on the play, and Stewart was not assessed a flagrant foul or reviewed for it.

During an incredible 110-107 comeback victory against the Seattle Storm, she tallied a career-high 45 points in just 29 minutes and set a new Indiana Fever single-game franchise scoring record
You would think the WNBA woyld be nicer to her, but she is a heterosexual white woman.
