Hours after Indiana's 90-86 win over Chicago, the WNBA overturned Caitlin Clark's eighth technical foul, clearing her to play Tuesday instead of serving an automatic one-game suspension.
Indiana appealed immediately after Clark was called for bumping an official late in the third quarter, and a league spokesperson said the reversal was decided even before the Fever received the referee report.
Tuesday's decision spared Clark a $1,500 fine and proved pivotal on court: she played 35 minutes against New York, posting 22 points and 10 assists in Indiana's 106-92 win.
Clark still has 7 technical fouls—tied with Angel Reese for the league lead—leaving her one call away from another suspension threat with 11 regular-season games left.
