Caitlin Clark Receives Technical Foul For Hostile Act During Fever vs. Lynx WNBA Game

The Indiana Fever and the Minnesota Lynx are playing a tightly contested WNBA game on Sunday.

The teams have been evenly matched through nearly three quarters. That is surprising considering the Lynx's best player Napheesa Collier isn't playing due to injury.

But Fever rookie Caitlin Clark has had a frustrating performance. In 26 minutes played, Clark has 7 points on 1 of 7 shooting. The rookie's frustration just got the better of her.

Clark received a technical foul for a poking an opponent in the eye while dribbling down the court in the third quarter.

After Clark was grabbed and fouled during her dribble, she flailed her arm out and seemed to poke Lynx guard Cecilia Zandalasini in the eye.

Because a common foul was called on Zandalasini, play was stopped, giving referees an opportunity to review the play. After a brief review, the referees determined what Clark did was a "hostile act," and called a technical foul.

Clark was shown on the broadcast after the technical foul was issued, appearing frustrated about the decision.

Time will tell whether Clark can rebound from the foul.
