"HENDERSON, Nev. -- Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark was fined $200 for a comment on social media where she criticized officiating from the team's recent playoff series win over the Atlanta Dream, according to Clark. "Got fined $200 for this lol," Clark posted on X with laughing emojis, referring to a screenshot of an Instagram comment where she wrote "Refs couldn't stop us.""
"Clark, who was ruled out for the season due to injury on Sept. 4, drew attention to the matter at Fever practice on Saturday, shouting to reporters from across the gym, "Hey everybody, go look at my tweet!" "that's gonna really break the bank for her," Fever teammate Sophie Cunningham -- who has also been fined multiple times this season for criticizing the reds -- posted on X. "starting a GoFundMe now!""
"The officiating was a big topic of conversation during the first-round series between the No. 6 Fever and No. 3 seed Dream. At least 36 fouls were called in each game, including 43 in Game 1. The Fever ultimately upset Atlanta thanks to a come-from-behind, 87-85 victory in the decisive winner-take-all Game 3, with Aliyah Boston providing the go-ahead layup with 7.4 seconds left in the game."
