Caitlin Clark will be available for the Indiana Fever's next game after the WNBA rescinded a controversial technical foul that would have triggered an automatic one-game suspension.
The decision drew support from former WNBA star and current ESPN ******* yst Chiney Ogwumike, who believed the league reached the correct conclusion after reviewing Clark's brief contact with an official during Indiana's win over the Chicago Sky.
Clark received what was initially ruled her eighth technical foul of the season late in the third quarter. However, the league later erased the call, returning her season total to seven and clearing her to play against the New York Liberty on Tuesday.
The disputed moment occurred while Clark was attacking the basket. After absorbing contact from Natasha Cloud, the Fever guard lost her balance and stumbled toward the sideline, where she brushed against an official. Although the contact appeared incidental, Clark was ******* sed a technical foul.
