Cunningham cited an incident where Alyssa Thomas allegedly pressed her fist on Clark's throat, calling it a cheap shot and claiming that the league fails to protect Clark from targeted actions. She noted that her team was unaware of the incident at the time but would have reacted had they seen it. Cunningham stated that Clark faces such targeting regularly with no support from officials. The Indiana Fever's next game is against the Los Angeles Sparks on Saturday night.
