In a move sending shockwaves across the basketball world, the WNBA has officially handed down a three-game suspension and a $100,000 fine to two Connecticut Sun players following what league officials called “excessive and dangerous physical conduct” directed at Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlin Clark.

The disciplinary action comes after a controversial game earlier this week in which Clark was on the receiving end of several aggressive fouls that escalated into what many fans and analysts described as “deliberate targeting.”

While the league has not publicly named the sanctioned players yet, multiple reports confirm that the punishment was delivered to two starters involved in multiple on-court altercations with Clark, including a particularly hard elbow to the ribs that forced a temporary stoppage in play.

Video clips of the incidents have since gone viral, fueling widespread backlash from fans, players, and commentators alike. Social media erupted with calls for accountability, with hashtags like #ProtectCaitlin and #WNBAFairPlay trending across platforms.
