Caitlin Clark criticizes referees after technical foul in Fever's victory

Caitlin Clark expressed her frustration with officiating following the Indiana Fever's 86-77 win over the Phoenix Mercury on June 23. Clark received a controversial technical foul during the game for allegedly clapping, bringing her season total to five technicals. The Fever trailed by as much as 16 points but mounted a comeback in the second quarter, gaining control in the third with Clark contributing 24 points and nine assists. The league will review the technical foul decision. If rescinded, Clark's total would drop to four for the season, but she must remain cautious with a potential one-game suspension looming at eight technicals.
