Caitlin Clark's Fever teammates prevent star rookie from possibly picking up consequential technical foul

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are on a 6-1 run, with Clark seemingly running away with the Rookie of the Year award. Colin Cowherd and Nick Wright ask if the WNBA is doing enough to support Clark's rising stardom.

Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark may owe her teammates a nice gift or dinner after they appeared to prevent her from getting a crucial technical foul on Sunday against the Dallas Wings.

A video posted on social media showed Clark walking back up the floor after a turnover. She looked up at the replay and then immediately started to mouth off to the referee. 

Kelsey Mitchell put her arm out to prevent Clark from heading over to the ref while Aliyah Boston had to pull Clark away and yell, "No," in her face to keep her from getting the technical foul.

Another technical foul would have been Clark’s seventh of the season. It would have resulted in an automatic suspension and kept her out of the team’s final game of the regular season against the Washington Mystics.

"Well, I didn't think they were going to give me a technical at any point tonight. I would have been really sad for people in Washington D.C.," Clark said, via the Indy Star. "I didn't want to do that. I tried my best, but my teammates do a really good job of that."
