(CNN) — Caitlin Clark picked up her third technical foul of her fledgling WNBA career on Thursday as the Indiana Fever suffered their eighth loss of the season.
Midway through the second quarter of Indiana’s game against the Seattle Storm at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Clark hit a long three-pointer over Storm guard Victoria Vivians.The pair collided as they ran back down the court, exchanging words as they came face-to-face before Fever center Aliyah Boston separated them.
Both Clark and Vivians were both given technical fouls.In the WNBA, players are suspended for one game if they pick up seven technical fouls in one season. Following that, they will be suspended for a game for every other technical they receive.
Thursday’s loss continues the Fever’s torrid beginning to the 2024 season as the organization’s recent struggles persist. The team has not had a winning record since 2015 and has failed to win more than 10 games in a season on five occasions during that span.
The Fever has two games in the next three days, playing the Chicago Sky on Saturday and then the New York Liberty on Sunday in Brooklyn.The-CNN-Wire
