The WNBA issued Phoenix Suns forward Alyssa Thomas a Flagrant 2 after pushing down on former Iowa women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark’s neck during a game.
The league gave Thomas a one-game suspension for a Flagrant 2 foul on Thursday, June 25, after officials did not call a foul when the incident occurred during Clark and the Indiana Fever’s 111–109 loss to the Mercury on Wednesday, June 24.
Here’s how social media reacted to the initial play and the news of Thomas’s suspension.
