Midway through the third quarter, with 7:14 remaining, Clark was hit with a technical foul under contentious circumstances. After missing a shot, she struck the padding of the basketball hoop in frustration, which led the referee to issue the technical. The call sparked debate, as many considered the action to be a display of personal frustration rather than unsportsmanlike conduct.
Speaking after the game, Clark addressed the incident, revealing that the referee interpreted her action as disrespectful to the game. “The ref told me it was disrespectful to the game of basketball,” Clark explained. She compared the situation to a technical foul she received during her college career for uttering a mild expletive out of frustration. Despite the penalty, Clark noted that it motivated her to play with even greater intensity. “I think he fired me up to continue to play a lot harder. I thought we got a lot better after he did that, so I want to thank him for that,” she added.
Clark’s technical foul on Sunday marked her fifth of the season, placing her just two away from a one-game suspension under WNBA rules. According to league regulations, a player is suspended for one game after accumulating seven technical fouls. Each additional technical foul beyond the seventh (9th, 11th, 13th, etc.) results in further suspensions. In addition to the risk of suspension, Clark has also incurred fines totaling $1,400 this season due to her technical fouls.
Currently, Clark trails only Diana Taurasi and Natasha Cloud of the Phoenix Mercury, who each have six technical fouls, as the league leaders in this category. Both Taurasi and Cloud picked up their sixth technical fouls in their match against the Fever on Friday.
As the season progresses, Clark will need to carefully manage her on-court emotions to avoid further disciplinary actions that could impact her availability for crucial games. Despite the controversy, her record-breaking performance continues to solidify her status as one of the most promising rookies in the WNBA.
