Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark was upset with a technical foul call she received during the team’s win over the Phoenix Mercury on Monday night and made her thoughts known.
Clark was involved in an entanglement with DeWanna Bonner in the fourth quarter. She was called for a foul but received a technical foul after she clapped her hands. Clark was seen pleading with officials, asking for an explanation for the technical.

It was her fifth technical foul of the season. When a player reaches their eighth technical foul, they are suspended for one game.
“Yeah, it’s ridiculous. I got a technical for clapping. So, we should all just go on the calendar now and pick a game that I’m gonna be suspended for if I’m gonna get technicals for clapping. (The referee) said I got a technical for clapping. If any technical should be taken away, it should be that one if it’s truly for clapping. That’s what they said they gave it to me for. So, it’s just ridiculous. I don’t understand it at all.
“I’m gonna play with emotion. I’m gonna play with passion. If they’re gonna give me a technical foul for clapping, then so be it. That’s their choice. The league can come back and review that play and I would love to hear what they say of the reasoning why I got the technical foul in that situation why players on the other team didn’t get a technical foul in that situation. If anything, split. OK, everyone gets a technical foul. That wasn’t how they were handed out. I’d love to know.”
Indiana won the game, 86-77.
Clark had 24 points, nine assists and three rebounds in the win. It’s the fifth straight game in which she’s had at least 20 points.
