The scene, with the WNBA branding Thomas\u2018 antics as \u201ca non-basketball act,\u201d took place in the second quarter with 6:52 left on the clock during Wednesday\u2019s game between the Mercury and Fever. Phoenix won, 111-109.<\/p>\n

Following Clark driving to the lane, she fell on her side after she made contact with Mercury guard Lexi Held. Scrambling for the ball, Thomas, Held and Phoenix forward DeWanna Bonner tumbled on Clark. While going for the recovery, Thomas seemingly punched Clark in the throat, which was followed by Thomas getting up and then stepping over Clark.<\/p>\n

Referees didn\u2019t call a foul during or after the play, per ESPN.<\/p>\n

Stephanie White, the head coach of Indiana, spoke with the media and said officials claimed they didn\u2019t witness the acts from Thomas. (RELATED: Man Charged With Stalking, Threatening Fever\u2019s Sophie Cunningham)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely egregious and utterly disrespectful,\u201d said White.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With that being said, according to league rules, the WNBA office has the ability to change the classification of a flagrant foul or to upgrade a call that wasn\u2019t flagged by referees after a game review. The league office is also allowed to suspend or fine players if it feels necessary.<\/p>\n
