Caitlin Clark has made a historically massive impact on the growth of the WNBA during her rookie season with the Indiana Fever. The 22-year-old guard has already, arguably, become the best player on her team and is crucial to the Fever’s push toward their potential first playoff berth since 2016.
Indiana has just 12 contests left in the regular season and if Clark doesn’t begin to tone it down when disagreeing with game officials, the team could lose the superstar to a suspension.
Per Across the Timeline, the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer is tied with Arike Ogunbowale and Kahleah Copper for the second-most technical fouls in the WNBA this season with five. Diana Taurasi and Natasha Cloud pace the league with six technicals apiece.
Clark’s first technical foul came in the fourth quarter of the Fever’s 88-84 loss to the Connecticut Sun on May 20, which dropped Indiana to 0-4. Clark’s next technical came up during the first quarter of her team’s 88-82 defeat against the Los Angeles Sparks on May 28, which sent the Fever to a 1-7 start.
She was given a technical foul the very next game on May 30 in the second quarter of a 103-88 setback vs. the Seattle Storm before going over one month until her next one. Perhaps uncoincidentally, Clark’s squad turned things around in June and July, going 9-6 before she was assessed a technical during the third quarter of the group’s 81-74 victory against the Minnesota Lynx on July 14.
One of the more questionable technical fouls called against the Iowa product came during the third quarter of the Fever’s 92-75 win over the Storm on Sunday.
Indiana next plays on Saturday on the road against the Lynx.
