Caitlin Clark’s flagrant foul stat for Fever goes viral.
This Caitlin Clark stat could leave some people shocked.
There’s no doubt that things can get physical in the WNBA, and Caitlin Clark can be the first one to attest to that. In her rookie season with the Indiana Fever, she’s hit the floor several times, and some have come as flagrant fouls against the opposing teams. An interesting stat came up on a Caitlin Clark stats page on X, formerly Twitter, that could shock some people who watch her.
“Interesting stat: 17% of the WNBA’s flagrant fouls this season have been committed against Caitlin Clark. The Chicago Sky were responsible for 80% of the flagrants committed against Clark,” the Clark Report page tweeted.
To add to the stats, Sporting News reporter Steph Noh made a clip of the flagrant fouls that were committed against Clark, and most of them have come against playing the Sky.
Saw this stat blowing up so I decided to look into it.
Caitlin Clark has had five flagrant fouls committed against her this season. Here are all of them:

The Fever and the Sky games are always physical, and it looks like Clark takes most of the hits. In their latest matchup, the Sky were assessed two flagrant fouls, and both came against Clark. Of course, these games get the most attention because of the battle between Clark and Angel Reese, but they have also become bigger because both are in the playoff picture and trying to win each and every night.
The latest flagrant foul committed against Caitlin Clark came when Chicago Sky’s Diamond DeShields committed a hard foul that made the Indiana Fever hit the floor. After Clark hit the floor, DeShields tried to help her up, but she immediately got up and went to the other side of the court, and the foul was later upgraded to a flagrant 1.
Earlier this season, Clark took a hard foul against Chennedy Carter when the two teams faced each other. At the time, the foul was considered common, but a day later the league upgraded it to a flagrant one. Carter didn’t want to answer any questions about the foul in the postgame but went on social media to criticize her.
“That’s that on that cause besides 3-point shooting what does she bring to the table man,” Carter said.
