The WNBA rescinded the eighth technical foul for both Angel Reese of the Atlanta Dream and Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever following league reviews. Under league rules, an eighth technical foul triggers an automatic one-game suspension and a $1,500 fine. Both players faced potential suspensions before the league office removed the penalties, allowing them to participate in their respective nationally televised games. WNBA analyst Sabreena Merchant noted that officials likely faced pressure to call the fouls in real-time due to the nature of the plays but determined that the penalties were not warranted upon further review. Both players have already secured playoff berths with their respective teams. Reese and Clark are expected to join forces as teammates representing Team USA at the upcoming FIBA World Cup.
