Indiana Fever Vs. Connecticut Sun Clash (Photo By Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images)
Things got heated Tuesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and the WNBA spent Wednesday morning cleaning up the aftermath. What started as a physical battle between the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun quickly spiraled into something more intense, with bodies on the floor and tensions boiling over.
It all began in the third quarter when Sun rookie Jacy Sheldon poked Fever star Caitlin Clark in the eye, earning herself a flagrant 1 foul. Clark didn’t hold back her frustration, and moments later, Marina Mabrey stepped in and shoved her to the ground.
That push lit the match. By the fourth quarter, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham made sure to return the favor by yanking Sheldon to the floor on a fast break. Officials ejected her on the spot.

The league reviewed the chaos and announced its decisions Wednesday. According to ESPN’s Alexa Philippou, the WNBA upgraded Mabrey’s technical to a flagrant 2, which carries a standard fine. Cunningham also received a fine for her retaliatory, flagrant 2 foul on Sheldon.
Despite the hard fouls and the clear tensions, the league chose not to suspend any of the players involved. That outcome surprised many, especially on social media, where fans argued the penalties didn’t go far enough.
Fever head coach Stephanie White didn’t mince words after the game, blaming the officials for losing control. “I think it was pretty obvious that stuff was brewing, right?” she told reporters. “When the officials don’t get control of the ballgame… and it’s been happening all season long. You’ve got competitive women who are the best in the world at what they do… they’re going to compete, and they’re going to have their teammates’ backs.”
The next meeting between these two teams is set for July 15, and after Tuesday’s fireworks, the rematch already has fans marking their calendars.
No one walked away with a suspension this time, but the line between serious competition and full-blown chaos is thin, and the WNBA is watching closely. Whether this latest round of discipline sends the right message is a conversation that’s far from over.
