Drawing fouls is a critical component of Caitlin Clark’s offensive strategy, which often involves her exaggerating contact to win foul calls from the referees.
During a recent game between the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun, Clark managed to secure a foul call after the officials ruled that DiJonai Carrington had made illegal contact in an attempt to steal the ball.
Carrington was visibly frustrated with the decision, believing Clark had exaggerated the contact. In a humorous display of disagreement, she mimicked Clark’s actions, suggesting that she had flopped to influence the referee’s call.
The incident occurred as Carrington tried to disrupt Clark’s drive to the basket, leading to the contentious foul call.
Carrington’s animated reaction highlighted her conviction that Clark had embellished the severity of the contact.
Despite the disagreement, it was Carrington and the Sun who ultimately triumphed, securing an 89-72 win at home— their third victory over Indiana this season.
Clark struggled throughout the game, finishing with just 10 points and a game-worst -30, while Carrington led all players with 22 points.
