The Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun are on the rebound after an intense game.
During the June 17 face-off between the two teams, tensions mounted after a series of fouls on both sides. Notably, the Fever’s Caitlin Clark found herself part of an on-court scuffle during her home game.
In the third quarter, Caitlin—who returned to the court June 14 after missing five games this season due to an injury—had possession of the ball as she made her way towards the basket. While attempting to pass the ball to her teammate, Caitlin was hit in the eye by the Suns Jacy Sheldon, who was defending her. After Caitlin reacted by shoving her back, Caitlin was charged to the ground by Jacy’s teammate Marina Mabrey.
While nobody was ejected from the game, Caitlin and Jacy each received flagrant 1 fouls and Mariana was issued a technical foul.
Things quickly escalated again between the two teams with seconds left in the game when the Fever’s Sophie Cunningham fouled Jacy during a drive to the basket, resulting in both teams engaging in a scuffle that had to be broken up by officials and security.
