Caitlin Clark lashed out at an opponent in the Indiana Fever’s latest win against the Minnesota Lynx as the former Iowa star was seen swatting a defender’s eye on the fast break. 

At the end of the third quarter of Sunday’s 81-74 win, Clark got a steal near Indiana’s basket before rushing down the floor in transition, only to be grabbed at halfcourt by Lynx forward Cecilia Zandalasini.

Annoyed by how she was fouled, the 21-year-old point guard swatted her right hand at Zandalasini after the whistle was blown.

Zandalasini then put her hand over her right eye, while Clark went to the free throw line as Lynx players around her were contesting the call.

Officials eventually reviewed the play and instead of advocating for Clark, they sided with Zandalasini, by giving a technical foul to the potential Rookie of the Year.
