No. Do you have any examples of this happening and a first time warning being given out?
It's my day off, and a holiday weekend. I'm not looking to do any wnba rules enforcement research.
It's a rule that was broken, and there was no penalty. That's all.
Known instances and official actions include:
Las Vegas Aces (2024): The league fined the Aces an undisclosed amount for failing to properly report A'ja Wilson's foot/ankle injury on the day-before injury report. Wilson was unexpectedly scratched prior to tipoff, resulting in a league penalty for violating reporting transparency rules.
Indiana Fever (2026): The Fever avoided a monetary fine but received a formal warning from the league after they failed to include Caitlin Clark on the injury report for a back issue. Despite Clark missing practice and being scratched shortly before tipoff, the team left her off the initial report, which drew league-wide scrutiny. The league's Yahoo Sports warning signaled that further infractions could easily result in fines or stricter discipline.
Clark has basketball skills, particularly shooting, ball handling and passing, that are generational. Her combination of those talents, IMHO, sets her apart from everyone else in the WNBA. But she plays a different position than Angel Reese. She can't compare to Reese as a rebounder or defender, IMHO. And so what? That's a consequence of Reese's height advantage and the fact that Reese has some skills of her own. Vive la difference.
@AFM22 probably thinks her mebounds should count as assists to herself!
We only care about the stats that support our opinions. That’s our right as Americans!
Add to her assist count. I was just kidding, but my phone wouldn't allow me to add an emoji here. I like to give you **** about Angel.
I have an autographed Acie Earl photo and I am considering adding that review to that photo
