US EditionCaitlin Clark says she was fined $200 for social media post about referees
Caitlin Clark received a $200 fine for an Instagram comment about referees following Indiana Fever's playoff win, amid ongoing disputes over officiating fairness in the WNBA.
- The WNBA fined Clark $200 for a social-media comment during the playoffs, Saturday amid Indiana Fever's postseason run.
- Following the 77-60 Fever win, Clark replied under an Instagram post, saying `Refs couldn't stop us`, which led to a $200 fine from the WNBA.
- Clark wrote `Got fined $200 for this lol,' re-sharing an Instagram screenshot, while Indiana Fever teammate Sophie Cunningham joked `that's gonna really break the bank for her.'
- With a 2025 salary of $78,066, Clark's $200 fine appears symbolic, as observers and teammates highlight her endorsements that far exceed that amount.
- The dispute traces back to 2024 when Clark's relationship with WNBA officials became contentious, and Stephanie White, Indiana Fever coach, publicly criticized unfair officiating during the series.
