Caitlin Clark made her first comments on Alyssa Thomas getting a one-game suspension for a flagrant foul on Clark during a Fever-Mercury game last month.
Ever since the video of Thomas’s foul on Clark has gone viral on social media, narratives surrounding the play have spiraled out of control. The game’s referees missed Thomas’s fist to Clark’s throat in the moment, but the league reviewed the play and retroactively assessed the Mercury forward a Flagrant 2 foul and a suspension, deeming that Thomas “recklessly” made contact with Clark and committed a non-basketball act.
