WNBA still reviewing Caitlin Clark's tech foul appeal after Fever-Mercury clash

The WNBA is reviewing the Indiana Fever’s appeal to overturn Caitlin Clark’s fourth-quarter technical foul from Monday’s win over the Phoenix Mercury; the league had initially stated it wasn’t rescinded and clarified post-game appeals are allowed, with the Fever submitting their request on Wednesday. Five players drew technicals in the incident—Clark, DeWanna Bonner, Alyssa Thomas, Sophie Cunningham and Myisha Hines-Allen (who was ejected after a second technical). Clark defended the call, calling it “ridiculous,” while Fever coach Stephanie White emphasized the need for Clark to balance passion with smart play. The league’s decision will determine Clark’s season total and any potential discipline.

Clark on Brink of One-Game Ban After Fifth Technical Foul

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is three technical fouls away from a one-game suspension after reaching five techs this season, with 28 games left in the regular season, as the NBA/WNBA notes a surge in technicals while reaffirming no changes to sportsmanship guidelines. Clark defends her passion, disagreeing with at least one call (clapping) during a dust-up with the Phoenix Mercury, and Fever coach Stephanie White emphasizes awareness and control.

Clark–Bonner clash sparks five techs and ejection in Fever–Mercury clash

In Indiana’s 86-77 win over Phoenix, a late altercation between Caitlin Clark and DeWanna Bonner triggered five technical fouls, with Clark earning her fifth tech of the season for clapping and Myisha Hines-Allen being ejected after a second technical foul. Additional confrontations between Alyssa Thomas and Hines-Allen and between Sophie Cunningham and Bonner followed as officials worked to deescalate the scenes. Fever coach Stephanie White praised the officiating and urged poise, while Mercury coach Nate Tibbetts looked ahead to the next matchup. Bonner, who briefly played for Indiana in 2025 before moving to Phoenix, was booed on her return to Bloomington.

Lakers Hit by One-Game Ban, Yet Might Benefit More Than Hurt

Luka Doncic will miss Monday’s game against the Wizards after receiving his 16th technical foul, a one-game suspension the piece argues is the best possible timing for the Lakers as Washington’s tanking posture and poor current form give LA a favorable chance to win. The Lakers still push for a top-three seed with tougher tests ahead (Cavaliers, Thunder, Mavericks), and Austin Reaves and LeBron James are expected to carry more of the load in Doncic’s absence. The league won’t rescind the technical, and Doncic should return soon, but this break could help LA fine-tune for a stretch run that could define their playoff positioning.

Dončić avoids suspension as NBA overturns 16th technical foul

The NBA league office overturned Luka Dončić’s 16th technical foul, sparing him an automatic one-game suspension after a heated double-technical exchange with Goga Bitadze in the Lakers’ 105-104 win over the Magic. Dončić said Bitadze insulted his family, but officials ruled the incident did not warrant a season-altering penalty, leaving him at 15 technicals as Los Angeles rides a nine-game win streak into a key matchup.

Doncic faces possible suspension after 16th tech tied to heated exchange

Lakers star Luka Doncic earned his 16th technical foul of the season after a heated exchange with Orlando’s Goga Bitadze, which could trigger a one-game suspension unless the league rescinds it; Bitadze disputes Doncic’s account and says the two were taunting each other, with officials citing mutual taunting during the sequence that decided the 105-104 win.

Doncic Set to Sit as 16th Technical Foul Triggers Suspension vs Pistons

Luka Dončić is set to miss the Lakers’ road game vs Detroit after earning his 16th technical foul of the season in Saturday’s win at Orlando; LA has appealed to rescind the foul, arguing officials should have warned earlier. Dončić, who remains one of the NBA's top players with about 33.4 points, 8.4 assists and 7.9 rebounds per game, helped LA extend a nine-game win streak. If the 16th T stands, he would begin a suspension pattern of one game per two techs for the rest of the season, though the Lakers still have 11 regular-season games remaining.

Angel Reese Suspended for One Game After Eighth Technical Foul

Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky was suspended for one game after her eighth technical foul of the season, which was called during a game against the Sun. The foul was due to a 'flail' on the court deemed unsportsmanlike by officials. Reese, who finished the game with 18 points and 13 rebounds, will sit out the next game against the Fever. The suspension is part of WNBA rules where additional technicals lead to further suspensions, and the Sky are nearing the end of their season with a 10-30 record.
