Overview
- The WNBA rescinded a technical called on Clark on Aug. 8 after review, returning her to seven technicals and preventing what would have been an automatic suspension.
- Clark said Thursday she has made a conscious effort to 'work with' referees by giving them a heads-up and keeping exchanges more positive, and she called herself 'really proud' of staying at seven so far.
- An eighth technical in the regular season automatically triggers a one-game suspension and a reported $1,500 fine under league discipline rules.
- The Fever have four regular-season games left and Clark noted she effectively needs to avoid a tech in three of them because a tech in the final game would not lead to a suspension before the playoffs.
- Clark’s adjustment has drawn wide media and social attention, and team observers say keeping her on the court matters for Indiana’s fight for a top-four seed and home-court advantage in the first round.
