The other shoe fell on Sunday, when Clark revealed on X she: ‘Got fined $200 for this lol.’

Clark’s fine was bet with laughter from her fellow injured Fever Star, Sophie Cunningham.
‘That’s really gonna break the bank for her. Starting a GoFundMe now!’ Cunningham wrote on X.
Cunningham had her own run-in with authority in that game when she found herself face-to-face with Atlanta police.
With just over four minutes remaining in the Fever’s 87-85 Game 2 win over the Dream on Thursday, Indiana star Odyssey Sims hit the court, appearing to have sustained yet another injury for the Fever.

During the timeout, an agitated Cunningham walked to center court to check on her teammate with Clark and Chloe Bibby hot on her heels.
However, a uniformed police officer swiftly approached Cunningham for her for stepping onto the hardwood.
Cunningham initially refused to budge, instead staring down the officer with her hands on her hips, before moving away and de-escalating the situation.
Ultimately, no flagrant foul was called, and Sims made both of her free throws.
