The win did not come without incident, though, particularly on the Clark front. At one point, the Fever superstar was assessed a technical foul for a hostile act.

Clark did not appreciate Lynx forward Cecilia Zandalasini grabbing her by the arm, which prompted the rookie sensation to extend her arm in her opponent’s direction.

After reviewing the play, the game officials deemed Clark’s act was worthy of a technical foul, which was her fourth of the regular season. At this point, the 22-year-old is three technical fouls away from an automatic one-game suspension.

As outlined by USA TODAY earlier this season, “after a player obtains seven technical fouls, they are fined $800 and are suspended for one game.”
Clark will not be suspended for inadvertently hitting Zandalasini in the face, but she is in danger of being sanctioned if she gets three more technical fouls this season.

There are 15 more games to be played in the regular season and fans will be keeping a close eye on what could be a looming suspension for the rookie.
