It was his fifth technical foul of the season. When a player reaches his eighth technical foul, he is suspended for one game.
“Yeah, it’s ridiculous. I got a technical for clapping. So we should all go to the schedule now and pick a game that I’m going to get suspended for if I’m going to get a technical for clapping. (The referee) said I got a technical for clapping. If any technical should be taken away, it should be that one if it’s really for clapping. That’s what they said they gave it to me for. So, it’s just ridiculous. I don’t understand it at all.

“I’m going to play with emotion. I’m going to play with passion. If they’re going to give me a technical foul for clapping, so be it. That’s their choice. The league can go back and review that play and I’d love to hear what they say about the reasoning for why I got the technical foul in that situation, why the players on the other team didn’t get a technical foul in that situation. If anything, split up. It’s okay, everyone gets a technical foul. That’s not how they dealt it out. I love knowing that.”
Indiana won the game, 86-77.
Clark scored 24 points, nine assists and three rebounds in the victory. It is the fifth consecutive game in which he has scored at least 20 points.
