Calls Mount for WNBA to Take Action After Caitlin Clark Gets Roughed Up Against Sun

While Mabrey and Clark ended up with a technical, Sheldon was hit with a flagrant-1 foul.

To some, those punishments may have been enough, but in the eyes of fans all over social media, the WNBA needs to step up and penalize the two Sun players even more.

"#WNBA Jacy Sheldon and Marina Mabrey, you are thugs. Trash behavior and you deserve to be fined and suspended. @WNBA this is an opportunity to show you actually have leadership in your organization. This too has no place in the league. Fire these referees too, incompetent," wrote one fan. 

"They should suspend Marina Mabrey for the rest of the season tbh," suggested a second. 

"Need to institute fines of 10% of annual salary per flagrant 1 foul. Fines payable to the opponent," demanded another.

"SUSPEND MARINA MABREY," exclaimed another.

"@WNBA this is not basketball... how can you not eject that player that did this to Caitlin Clark," questioned another. 

Even though Clark was the victim in this scenario, this marked her second tech in the past three days as she also was assessed one during the Fever's Saturday win over the New York Liberty.

In the WNBA, a player's first three technical fouls in a single season result in a $200 fine each. The next three techs result in a $400 fine, and once a player is hit with a seventh they are suspended and fined $800.

So, Clark will have to dish out $400 in total to the WNBA after Tuesday. As for Mabrey, this is also her second tech. Whether or not the league will add on additional punishments like fans are requesting is yet to be seen.
