Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever has received her fifth technical foul this season during a game against the Phoenix Mercury, which the Fever won 86-77 on June 22. Under WNBA rules, receiving eight technical fouls results in a one-game suspension. Clark believes the foul she received for clapping was undeserved, while her coach, Stephanie White, emphasized the need for Clark to be aware of her actions on the court.
