Clark was poked in the eye by one Sun player and the violently shoved to the floor by another.
Fans reacted to the shocking news on social media.
“They’re all so angry at Clark for making the big money while they’re making peanuts…..Plus Caitlin gets all the attention and they don’t. LOL,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“How the hell is Caitlin Clark getting a tech for being fouled and body checked to the ground AFTER the play is dead. WNBA is not a serious league,” another fan added.
“Mabrey should have been ejected! Poor sportsmanship. Sorry referee’s. Come on WNBA Commissioner can we get consistency before someone gets seriously hurt,” one fan added.
It’ll be interesting to see if more punishment is handed out after the game.
