3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 23

Summary

  • Clark picked up her seventh technical foul Wednesday after telling Connecticut's Saniya Rivers "scoreboard" during a third-quarter exchange, leaving her one technical away from an automatic one-game suspension.
  • The incident came with Indiana up 95-67; officials assessed matching technicals to Clark and Rivers before the confrontation escalated, and Clark later said the referee objected to her response.
  • Clark said she will try to balance emotion with control but does not plan to change her aggressive style because of the suspension risk hanging over her next game.
  • Indiana still rolled to a 123-88 win as Clark posted 27 points and 11 assists in 27 minutes, lifting the Fever to 17-10 and fifth in the standings.
