We're not sure how the refs missed calling this Mystics foul on Caitlin Clark.
The officiating crew for Wednesday night’s Indiana Fever and Washington Mystics arguably missed a blatant foul on rookie guard Caitlin Clark as she went up for a layup.
Clark taking hard fouls has been a talking point of the WNBA season, but this block from Mystics center Stefanie Dolson clearly smacked Clark’s arm as she was going up for the basket.
Rather than rule it a foul, the referees held the whistle and let the game continue. Clark wasn’t thrilled at all and tried to argue that it should’ve been called a foul, but it ultimately didn’t impact the game as Indiana held on to win the game over Washington, 88-81.
It’s going to continue to be a focal point this season for how teams are playing Clark and if it crosses a line into foul territory, but this seems like it was an obvious call the referees just missed.
It looked like Clark was clearly impacted by the contact on her shot attempt.
Do you think this is a foul on Caitlin Clark?
