The WNBA has suspended Phoenix Mercury's Alyssa Thomas for one game after she made contact with her fist to Caitlin Clark's throat in Wednesday night's matchup against Indiana Fever.
According to the Associated Press, officials did not call a foul on the play during the game, but the WNBA ruled that Thomas committed a Flagrant Foul 2 for what it described as a non-basketball act.
Thomas will serve her suspension on Saturday when the Mercury visit the Toronto Tempo.
Fever coach Stephanie White called the incident 'egregious' and said that player safety should be paramount in the league.
This is not the first time the WNBA has upgraded a foul involving Caitlin Clark, who also left the game in the third quarter due to a back issue.
