Caitlin Clark has made getting to the foul line a key part of her offensive strategy. Sometimes, this involves a bit of embellishment to ensure the refs call a foul.
During Monday's game between the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun, Clark was awarded a foul when officials decided DiJonai Carrington had reached in while trying to steal the ball. Carrington wasn’t thrilled with this call, and she didn't hide her feelings—she humorously mimed Clark’s flopping, suggesting she thought Clark exaggerated the contact.
Here’s a rundown of the game’s key moments:
- Clark’s Foul Call: Clark was driving to the basket when she appeared to get bumped by Carrington, prompting the referee’s whistle.
- Carrington’s Reaction: Carrington felt the contact was minimal and that Clark had flopped, leading to her comedic imitation of Clark’s supposed theatrics.
- Game Outcome: Despite the back-and-forth, Carrington and the Sun had the last laugh with an 89–72 victory, their third win against Indiana this season. Clark struggled with just 10 points and a game-worst -30, while Carrington shined with 22 points, leading all scorers.
Clark’s skills at drawing fouls are undeniable, but on this night, it was Carrington and the Sun who truly dominated.
