Caitlin Clark's WNBA Controversy: Omitted Poster and Uncalled Foul

The WNBA omitted star guard Caitlin Clark from its 30th‑anniversary commemorative poster, replacing her with another player, which sparked criticism that the league ignored its biggest draw. In a separate incident, Alyssa Thomas punched Clark’s throat during a game, yet officials failed to call a flagrant foul.

The league later issued a one‑game suspension and a fine, igniting debate over player safety and disciplinary consistency.
