Caitlin Clark is approaching a noteworthy stat: she's piled up six technical fouls in her rookie year with the Indiana Fever, with the sixth earned on Friday against the Las Vegas Aces.

One more in the regular season and she'll have to serve a one-game suspension.

But if you're wondering: if she gets that next technical close to the playoffs or in the postseason, will she be suspended for that one game in the playoffs?

The answer is: nope. It all resets in the postseason. If she avoids a tech on Sunday, she won't get a suspension and it'll be all good for the playoffs.

Techs reset for the playoffs.

So, this one-game suspension would only come into effect if she gets another tonight or against Dallas on Sunday. https://t.co/sIgZay9iDf
