WNBA rescinds Caitlin Clark's technical foul, avoiding suspension

WNBA rescinds Caitlin Clark's technical foul, avoiding suspension

Caitlin Clark plays basketball for the Indiana Fever.

During a game against the Chicago Sky, the referees gave her a technical foul.

That would have been her eighth technical foul of the season.

In the WNBA, getting eight technical fouls means you have to sit out the next game.

The foul happened when she accidentally bumped into a referee after being knocked out of bounds.

The Fever team complained right away, and the league agreed the call was wrong.

They took away the technical foul.

So Caitlin Clark won't miss any games.

She will play in her team's next home game.

The coach said it was just an accident and should not have been a foul.
