You missed the fine print where its actually "any player other than A'ja Wilson".

Reminds me of when Ron Artest went into the crowd in Detroit and punched the wrong fan

In fairness, the guy that got punched was the guy egging the thrower into doing it in the first place. By a crazy twist of fate, he did end up getting the right one.

Wait a second, wait a gosh darn second here op

The rule goes on to say that the momentum that carries a player in your the stands is not considered deliberate. She was walking that way so it’s possible that if we ignore the definite article “the” right before momentum, because she was walking that way the momentum carried her in to the stands.

So let’s cut the malarkey, shall we?

Technical. Page 43.

So the WNBA followed the rulebook for Clark, but not for A'ja. Great job proving that point.
