Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White criticized officials after a Flagrant-2 foul against Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas was assessed in a review of the Fever's June 24 loss. The incident involved Caitlin Clark, who fell and was injured during a scramble for the ball, but no foul was called during the game. Clark, dealing with a back issue, will miss the Fever's June 27 game against the Los Angeles Sparks.
