Dallas vs. Phoenix - Box Score - May 18, 2018 - ESPN

Chong scored a total of 1 pt from a free throw against Mercury. She went 0-2 from the field.
Please tell me how that happened. A technical free throw? Or was someone injured and she made a free throw for her? Or is there some simple explanation that is escaping me?

She could have went 1-2 from the free throw line

The official transcript of the game says:
2:25 Leilani Mitchell away from play foul"
2:25 Saniya Chong makes free throw 1 of 1
And it looks like Dallas ball following.
An away from the ball foul must result in a one shot foul and possession in the WNBA.
The other possibility was a violation on the second shot attempt but that is usually recorded also and it would have been Pheonix ball not Dallas' .

If you're fouled on a shot attempt there is no shot. In other words, your shooting percentage won't drop because you missed a shot; you were fouled instead.

Did I explain that in a way that makes sense to you?

On edit: if Saniya had shot the ball 10 times and was fouled every time, the box score would show 0-0 for field goals.

There was a dead ball foul. Phoenix fouled while Dallas was trying to in-bound the basketball. That's by definition a technical foul and results in one FT and possession.

Dallas must think highly of Saniya's free throw shooting to give her the technical free throw to shoot.

It does not. But thanks everyone for the answers. I think CocoHusky and UConnCat got the correct explanation.
