Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark was unapologetic about picking up a sixth technical foul during Saturday’s 108-88 victory over the New York Liberty when she met with the media Monday.
“I just yelled at him to call it,” Clark said of the call 90 seconds into the game that includes a $1,000 fine. “Obviously, it was a pretty quick technical but, whatever.”

Clark said she won’t change her approach despite approaching eight technicals and the automatic one-game suspension that total brings with 18 games remaining in the regular season. This was her first technical foul in nearly a month — the last one she picked up was on June 22 against Phoenix.
“We have to make sure we’re strategic in using our technical fouls,” Fever coach Stephanie White quipped after the game.
The referee called the technical after Clark ran into a screen from Jonquel Jones. Clark wanted a call after falling to the ground, giving the official some choice words that quickly resulted in the tech.
