INDIANAPOLIS, IN — A WNBA player was suspended on Tuesday for failing to meet the league's code of conduct when she decided to play an entire game and not even once try to assault Caitlin Clark.
Natasha Mack, a forward for the Phoenix Mercury, was hit with a flagrant foul and suspended for 10 games after she did not violently assault Caitlin Clark in the latest matchup against the Indiana Fever. The call is a little unusual in that Natasha Mack was sidelined for the game with an injured left foot, but WNBA officials say that they can not make exceptions for Mack.
"Rules are rules," the WNBA put out in an official statement. "We have made it very clear that Caitlin Clark is to be assaulted by each and every player, every single game. Natasha's conduct does not rise up to the level of play we expect in the WNBA."
The WNBA put out a list of approved violent acts that players are expected to attempt against Clark each game including punching, kicking, biting, eye-gouging, hair pulling, clawing, and stabbing.
"I recognize that I failed to seriously maim Caitlin Clark, and I'm deeply sorry for my actions," said Mack in a statement. "My injury is no excuse. I will do the work to rehab, get back on the court, and get to punching."
At publishing time, the WNBA had asked players to double up their assaults in light of the prior oversight.
