NEW YORK LIBERTY star Natasha Cloud has been handed a WNBA fine warning over her outfit choice.
The guard was ruled out of a clash against the Las Vegas Aces last Wednesday due to injury.

She appeared on the bench instead at the Barclays Center.
Cloud, 33, wore a sweater vest, cargo pants, a black baseball cap, and Doc Martins.
She got into hot water over one item of clothing however – her cap.
Cloud was taken aback by the fine warning she received since the WNBA does not have a rule banning caps, though the League’s owner the NBA does have such a rule.
She reacted to the warning, saying: “I don’t understand why I receive a fine warning for wearing a hat on the bench for a game I was unable to play in?
“I just feel like I wanna be left alone lolllzzz.”
Cloud recently attracted attention after throwing her support behind New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
And when asked about his win in the Democratic primary last month, Cloud took an opportunity to rant about President Donald Trump.
She said: “Mamdani, my boy!”
She then continued: “If Donny wants to come down here, if ICE wants to try and come down here, that’s fine.
“But [they’re] going to learn the hard way… New Yorkers really don’t f*** around. They don’t play about one another. They don’t play about this city.
“I just think that it’s reckless of our president, reckless of this administration but it’s also exciting for us, the people, because that’s when you know we’re getting to them.
“That’s when you know we’re creating change that they don’t want.
“That’s when you know we’re dismantling a system. For all of us in New York I’m just gonna ask that we continue to be on the right path to history, that we protect one another, that we protect Mamdani and what he wants to do.
“Because ultimately he wants to protect us down the line. He is a Muslim, he is a socialist, he is a Democrat so he’s going to get the worst PR of all PRs.
“They’re going to tell you to be scared of him, all this Islamophobia s***, that a socialist is a scary thing for our country moving forwards.
“Socialism is that everyone has equity, everyone has the same s***, everyone can live the same dignified life as one another and he’s going to do it through taxing the rich instead of taxing the poor to give more to the rich.”
