Caitlin Clark's Suspension Watch Comes to an End

As the Indiana Fever approach their final game of the regular season, star rookie Caitlin Clark can breathe a sigh of relief on her technical foul situation.

Clark had accumulated six total technical fouls over the course of the season. If she had reached seven, the Fever guard would have faced a mandatory one-game suspension from the WNBA.

But because the Fever have just one game left in the regular season, Clark is no longer in danger of being suspended, even if she does get whistled for a technical foul. The Fever close out their season with a game against the Washington Mystics on Thursday before heading to the playoffs for the first time since the 2016 season.

The Fever clarified earlier this week that accumulated technical fouls reset at the start of the playoffs, meaning Clark would need to have reached her seventh technical foul before the final game of the regular season in order to face a suspension.

"According to a Fever spokesperson, the technical foul rule resets for the playoffs," wrote reporter Chloe Peterson of the Indianapolis Star . "So, Clark would not be suspended if she picks up one in the first round of the playoffs in two weeks."

Clark addressed the situation after Sunday's 110-109 win over the Dallas Wings, saying she's glad it's reached a conclusion.

"Now it’s basically over, I don’t have to worry about that anymore," Clark said , adding, "I don’t want to get technicals at all, my mom doesn’t want that for me either.”
