Caitlin Clark had an unconventional reaction to being hit with a technical foul.
Caitlin Clark had an unconventional reaction to being hit with a technical foul.
The Indiana Fever star and WNBA Rookie of the Year favorite actually wanted to thank the referee who gave her the tech to begin with, which may or may not have had a hint of sarcasm.
Clark earned a fifth technical foul on the year — a seventh would give her an automatic one-game suspension.
The Iowa native slammed the stanchion after missing a 3-pointer with 7:14 left in the third quarter and her rage netted her the tech, which she discussed following the Fever’s assertive 92-75 win over the Seattle Storm in which she broke the WNBA rookie assist record on Sunday afternoon.
“I got a technical for basically being mad at myself because I missed a 3, and then I went and hit the backboard, and he told me it was disrespectful to the game of basketball,” Clark said.
