Fever star Caitlin Clark showed zero concern ahead of WNBA suspension

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever returned to their winning ways on Saturday. They defeated the Chicago Sky 90-86 at the United Center, snapping their two-game losing skid. The referees issued the superstar guard her eighth technical foul, and was set to be suspended in their next game; however, she showed zero concern about it.

Clark finished with 26 points built on five three-pointers, along with 11 assists. Her strong performance backed Kelsey Mitchell’s game-high 27 points, while Aliyah Boston posted a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double.

Meanwhile, Natasha Cloud and Rachel Banham led Chicago with 17 points each. Kamilla Cardoso supplied 14 points and nine rebounds in the losing effort. The Sky have lost two of their last three games.

Indiana Fever: Caitlin Clark was not worried of potential suspension

Clark didn’t worry about a potential suspension that she would need to serve on Tuesday. She contacted a referee after attacking the basket. While the three-time All-Star appeared to be off-balanced, the referee issued her a technical. But she made it clear during her postgame interview that she looks forward to facing the New York Liberty at home.

“She said I ran into her. I have already watched it on tape,” Clark said. “We’ll let the league decide. But it wasn’t intentional. I’m hoping it’s getting rescinded. I’ll see you on Tuesday.”

The WNBA has since rescinded the technical foul and Clark will be available to play in the home matchup. She continues to deal with a lingering back issue but will likely receive another probable designation on the injury report.

Clark is amid her best professional season, averaging a career-high 21.6 points, with 3.9 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game. Her potential availability boosts Indiana significantly as it aims to make it two straight wins. The team is 20-12 for the season and currently sits fourth in the standings.
