As Caitlin Clark prepares for what may be her final game of a historic WNBA rookie season, many are reflecting on a campaign of tremendous highs and shattered records.
Clark led the league in assists while setting the WNBA record for the most dimes in a single season. She helped guide the Indiana Fever back to the postseason for the first time since 2016.
However, many of Clark’s critics point to one nagging habit plaguing her since her days at the University of Iowa: a propensity for technical fouls.
Clark finished her season with six technical fouls, just one away from an automatic suspension (though all technical foul penalties reset for the playoffs).
How much are WNBA players fined for techs? Players are charged $200 for the first three technical fouls, $400 for four through six, and then $800 for each one after six.
That’s a hefty chunk of change for a player on a $76.535 rookie salary, though Clark earns more through endorsements with brands like Gatorade and State Farm.
Anne Nizzi-Clark, Caitlin’s mother, did not appreciate the mounting technicals. “I don’t want to be getting technicals at all and my mom doesn’t want that for me, either,” Clark told reporters ahead of the playoffs. “
And I don’t want to pay any more fines, either,” she admitted. “So I’m done with that.”
Clark tied with Mercury guards Diana Taurasi and Kahleah Copper for second place in the WNBA with six technical fouls, only trailing fellow Mercury guard Natasha Cloud with seven.
However, the Indiana Fever rookie doesn’t believe she’s at fault for all of them: “It stinks because I feel like half of my technicals this year, I got one for that inadvertent contact to the face in the Minnesota game and then two for hitting the stanchion of the basket,” Clark said.
The Fever are set for a rematch against the Connecticut Sun after a humiliating 93-69 road loss in the opening game of the WNBA Playoffs. Clark struggled from the field, making just four of her 17 shots while scoring 11 points.
“We didn’t play well, didn’t play to the level we’re capable of playing,” Clark said. “We didn’t shoot the ball like we’re capable of. We’re capable of winning this game.”
Marina Marbrey led the way with 27 points off the bench for the Sun, who are -6.5 favorites against the Fever on Wedensday.
