1 MINUTE AGO: Chicago Sky’s Diamond DeShields Facing SUSPENSION For Flagrant Foul on Caitlin Clark

Fans are calling for the suspension of Chicago Sky’s Diamond D. Shields after a flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark.

Caitlin was unstoppable Friday night, scoring a career-high 31 points to lead the Indiana Fever to a dominant 100-81 win over the Chicago Sky. Clark’s shooting was impressive, going eight of 14 from the field and sinking five of nine from beyond the arc. She also nailed 10 of 11 free throws as the Sky struggled to contain Clark.

Frustration boiled over when Diamond D. Shields repeatedly fouled Clark, sending her to the free throw line multiple times in just a few minutes. The tension peaked when D. Shields ran over Clark at midcourt after a steal, resulting in a flagrant one foul. After review, the referees upheld the flagrant call, and Clark calmly sank the free throws before exiting to a standing ovation from the Fever’s away crowd.

The physicality wasn’t the only source of tension. Earlier, Clark had a brief exchange with Sky center Camila Cardozo after an airball, adding fuel to the fire that led to D. Shields’ hard foul. Despite the rough play, Clark remained unfazed, continuing to dominate until she left the game.

The Fever’s victory marks their third straight win, improving their record to 16-6 as they fight for playoff positioning. Meanwhile, the Sky’s loss drops them to 11-20, barely holding on to the eighth and final playoff spot.

Clark’s performance not only highlighted her scoring prowess but also her resilience, further solidifying her as one of the WNBA’s most exciting players.
