Caitlin Clark's Interaction With Official Results in Technical Foul originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The WNBA Commissioner's Cup game between the Indiana Fever and the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night had the intensity of a playoff game with a spot in the Commissioner's Cup final potentially on the line.

A win for Indiana, combined with a win by the New York Liberty over the Atlanta Dream, would give Caitlin Clark and the Fever the top spot in the East and a place in the final versus the winner of the West — a game with a $500,000 prize pool.
The chippy game included several intense confrontations between Clark and players on the Sun, including Jacy Sheldon and Marina Mabrey.

However, it was an incident involving Sun rookie Aneesah Morrow that led Clark to challenge the officiating crew.
In the second quarter, Morrow was assessed a technical foul after she bounced the ball high in frustration after a whistle against Connecticut.

Originally, the official did not see the infraction, but Clark pointed it out, according to Indy Star reporter Chloe Peterson, who was covering the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
It is no surprise that Clark was familiar with the intricacies of what constitutes a technical foul by the book. She picked up six in her rookie season, one short of the number that would prompt a one-game suspension from the WNBA.
Heading into 2025, she vowed to commit no more than two, but after the game against the Sun, she is already on thin ice when it comes to that ambitious goal.
The 23-year-old guard was assessed her second technical foul of the season in the third quarter for her role in an altercation that led to Mabrey earning a technical foul for knocking the Fever star to the floor. Sheldon was also assessed a flagrant 1 foul.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Matt Freese's gaffe that cost the U.S. the lead in a CONCACAF Gold Cup group play finale drew a reaction from coach Mauricio Pochettino that the Americans can apply to the rest of their last competitive test before next year's World Cup. 'Move on,' Pochettino said of the goalkeeper's botched clearing attempt before Patrick Agyemang's tiebreaking 75th-minute goal in a 2-1 victory over Haiti on Sunday night.

Chicago Sky Star Makes Demand After Loss on Sunday

Chicago Sky Star Makes Demand After Loss on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky lost to the Atlanta Dream on Sunday, falling to 3-10 on the WNBA season. While it ultimately goes down as another tally in a growing loss column, there were some positive developments for Chicago. Advertisement One encouraging sign for the Sky was how reserve center Elizabeth Williams performed. The 2017 All-Star tallied 16 points and five rebounds off the bench. While this marked a season-high in scoring for Williams, she had bigger things on her mind after the game. As the secretary of the WNBA Player's Association, Williams demanded player salaries begin reflecting the league's growth in recent years. Chicago Sky center Elizabeth Williams (1).Chris Jones-Imagn Images As reported and transcribed by Sky reporter Karli Bell, Williams issued a clear message: "On behalf on my teammates and every member of our union, I want to be clear that we remain committed to negotiating the next CBA with the league and the teams in good faith and privately, but we do want to set the record straight not for the headlines but for the fans who support us and deserve transparency about what's at stake." Advertisement She added, "This is a defining moment for the WNBA. As the league grows, it's time for a CBA that reflects our true value... We deserve a fair share, and we're demanding salaries that reflect our true value." Last month, Ben Pickman of The Athletic provided some insight into the ongoing CBA negotiations. "Players are coming to the negotiating table with several priorities, including increased salaries, a softened salary cap and more access to family planning services," he reported. "Retirement benefits that provide long-term security for players and their families are also among key priorities, and standardizing team work environments, including facility and travel accommodations as well as support staff minimums, are on the list too."
