Caitlin Clark Inexplicably Picks Up Technical Foul Amid Fever-Sun Shoving Match

The Indiana Fever are looking to avenge their May 30 loss to the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday, in a contest that features what's almost a full complement of Fever players.

While standout guard DeWanna Bonner is still not with the team for personal reasons, Indiana has Caitlin Clark back, who is arguably the most valuable player in the league, in terms of how she impacts her own squad.

However, while the story of the game has centered around revenge, albeit not because of the Fever losing on May 30.

At one point in the second quarter, Clark and Sun guard Jacy Sheldon had a feisty incident after physical defense that ultimately resulted in nothing more than a regular foul.

But things intensified in a major way in the third quarter, when Clark was dribbling the ball into the paint while being guarded by Sheldon, who clearly poked Clark in the eye. This prompted an angry response from Clark, who was frustrated about the play (a common foul was initially called on Sheldon).

Clark and Sheldon exchanged more words and then had a light shoving match before other players began getting involved. Ultimately, Sun player Marina Mabrey came up and shoved Clark to the ground.
