Fever Score Franchise-High 123 Points as Caitlin Clark Nears Suspension Risk

A seventh technical foul leaves Clark one away from an automatic one-game ban and forces Indiana to manage her minutes and health over the All-Star break.

Overview

  • The Indiana Fever routed the Connecticut Sun 123-88 on Wednesday, setting a franchise single-game scoring record and building a 70-46 halftime lead en route to the victory.
  • Caitlin Clark finished with 27 points and 11 assists while Kelsey Mitchell (23) and Aliyah Boston (22) also starred as Indiana improved to 17-10 and moved to the top of the Eastern Conference.
  • Late in the third quarter Clark was assessed her seventh technical foul after an exchange with Saniya Rivers, putting her one technical away from an automatic one-game suspension under WNBA rules.
  • Under the league’s disciplinary scale Clark will face an increased fine for this tech and would trigger a mandatory suspension on a next infraction, which raises short-term availability stakes for the Fever.
  • Clark declined the 3-Point Contest invitation but will attend WNBA Live and play in the All-Star Game, leaving the team to balance her public appearances, back-related minute limits, and the risk of suspension after the break.
