The WNBA has responded to the latest cheap shot against Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlin Clark -- but is it enough?

According to The Associated Press, the WNBA has upgraded the "common" (albeit cheap) foul committed against Clark during a matinee game Saturday.

During the 71-70 Fever win over the Chicago Sky, a verbal exchange between Clark and Sky guard Chennedy Carter in the third quarter led to the latter shoulder-checking Clark in a play that had nothing to do with basketball.

“I wasn’t expecting it,” Clark said after the game, according to the AP. “It is what it is. It’s a physical game. Go make the free throw and execute on offense, and I feel like that’s kind of what we did.”
